Maria Albornoz Wine Bucket and a Case of Wine

Enjoy Moore Brothers Wine Company's very popular Bon Marche mixed case of wine with this gift certificate from the New Jersey store. We are also including the three L'effet Papillon wines - red, white, and rose - featured here at the Mud Ball for you to continue this party at home. Artist Maria Albornoz's wine bucket is the perfect pairing for this prize.

Maria's wine bucket features a beautifully painted surface which is a hallmark of her pottery. Within the bounds of pottery, she seeks to elevate mundane rituals into extraordinary moments. Through her work she reconciles the impressions of her memory; recreating forms, textures, and ideas that have touched her. Ordinary and oddly familiar objects are explored in the relationships between line, color, texture, and form. María received a Master of Fine Arts in Ceramics from Temple University, Tyler School of Art and a BFA from the University of South Florida. Born in Kansas, she lived through her late teens in Venezuela and currently resides in Philadelphia.

Moore Brothers Wine Company is a unique place if you have never visited one of the locations. In 1996, Greg Moore, Sommelier and General Manager of the renowned Le Bec-Fin, and his brother David, a prominent wine retailer, created a wine store that reimagined the retail wine experience. They represent the work of winegrowers committed to sustainable farming, small production, and the traditions of their respective regions. Many of the producers they represent are considered among the finest in the world. Through their personal relationships with these small wineries, the wines come directly from the grower's cellars under perfect temperature controlled systems of 56 degrees, so dress warmly when you pick-up your prize as the store is also kept at 56 degrees.

Moore Brothers Wine Company in New Jersey is approximately 10 minutes from Center City Philadelphia. The Bon Marche case is a Moore Brothers Wine Company classic. Since its founding in 1996, they have offered a variety of this case bringing together a selection of wines from the Old World as a "sampling" of the types they love to drink most often, and the wines that keep their customers returning for more. The 12 wines in this collection, chosen for their versatility and variety, assure that the Bon Marche lives up to its French name; a "good deal." Notes on each of the wines are provided in the package, and the case changes seasonally.
