Lookingglass to Reveal Custom Wine at Benefit

Lookingglass Theatre Company announces the release of an exclusive, custom wine created in partnership with City Winery, Phantasmagoria. Phantasmagoria, a premium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the famed Georges III vineyard was blended at City Winery Chicago and crafted by Lookingglass Ensemble Member Phil Smith and City Winery's Caroline Schrader. Lookingglass will unveil Phantasmagoria at Summergglass Uncorked, a festive celebration which will include live music from Lookingglass Artistic Associate Kasey Foster's band, Old Timey, mingling with Ensemble Members, and sumptuous food and drink. Summergglass Uncorked will be held on Thursday, August 22, 2019, from 6pm-9pm at City Winery, 1200 W. Randolph Ave in Chicago.

In true Lookingglass fashion, Phantasmagoria was inspired by Lewis Carroll's eponymous poem and carries notes of warm spices, vanilla, and oak that round out the profile for a perfect accompaniment to celebrating with friends. Phantasmagoria will only be available at Summergglass Uncorked alongside bespoke auction prizes such as 'How to Build the Perfect Cheese Plate' with, the 6th Foremost Cheesemonger in the World, Jordan Edwards and a behind the scenes tour of Uplands Cheese!
