Art aficionados, SOMA residents and winos alike have reason to anticipate summer–usually not San Francisco’s strongest season, but made better with the promise of the launch of the SFMOMA exhibit “How Wine Became Modern” starting in July. The series on “Design + Wine 1976 to Now” will combine artifacts from global wine culture (including bottle labels and glassware), aerial photographs of grape-growing regions, and taste and smell presentations. The museum’s Curator of Architecture and Design, Henry Urbach, created the exhibit to look “at the material and visual culture of wine over the past three decades and offers a fresh way of understanding the contemporary culture of wine and the role that architecture and design have played in its transformation.” Corks away.
