Why do I like midtown gallery openings? Gering & López Gallery.

The reasons to go to midtown galleries are many and among them better wine often accompanied by snacks and yes more relaxed atmosphere, because of less human traffic. And when it rains, you're still covered when moving between galleries, as most of them, dozens, are in two main buildings.
Here is a set of wines at an opening on 57th Street in June, a summer season starter, I'd call it. There were also good chocolates and cheese and what not, in addition to these wines.

I had a taste of the bubbly, Cristalino, which was decent tasting and under $5. And the red was excellent too, according to my companion that evening. La Motte I found online is 2006, while the one served at the gallery was 2003. The price of 2006 is stillunder $10. I bet the 2003 was half the price.
My best to the gallery assistant or whoever found the deals.

Note the neat, geometric, abstract and massive art on the walls and and actual wine glass in the gentelman's hand.

I believe this was the show Michael Scott "and then he tried to swallow the world"
