LOMPOC, CALIF. (July 26, 2006) –From Ground to Glass will screen on Friday, August 4, 2006, at 7:30pm at the Lompoc Civic Auditorium. Local independent filmmaker Rob DaFoe, who interviews over 30 vintners, winegrowers, and home winemakers in the film, will attend the screening. DaFoe features many local winemakers, including Mike Sinor, Kris Curran, Bruno D’Alfonso, Wes Hagen, Richard Sanford, Ken Brown, and Norm Yost.
The film premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival last February. Festival Program Director Cevin Cathell remarked, “With From Ground to Glass, Rob DaFoe delivers a stunningly beautiful, fascinating and often humorous film that truly reveals the passion for winemaking through the eyes of its artisans.”
From Ground to Glass is the untold story of the modern California wine experience. It is the story of trailblazing vintners who, in their own words, share the personal challenges, triumphs, and epiphanies that set them on the path of wine. It is also the story of an inquisitive filmmaker and first time winemaker who seeks inspiration from those who have mastered the art of wine. Unlike any film before, From Ground to Glass ultimately expresses the beauty, the passion, and the events that bring so many to a life and love of wine.
To complement the film screening, tasting rooms in Lompoc will be open on Friday and Saturday from 11:00am-4:00pm. Brushes & Blues 2006 will conclude the weekend on Sunday, August 6 from 11:00am-5:00pm at Ken Adam Park. The festival includes blues music, fine wines, and local art. Admission is $5 per car for parking and wine tasting is $10, which includes a commemorative glass.
Lompoc Civic Auditorium is located at 217 South L Street in Lompoc. Tickets are $10.00 and available at Anderson Recreation Center, 125 West Walnut Avenue, and Lompoc Chamber of Commerce, 111 South I Street, on Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, or at the door.
