November 11th, 2016 marks Galer Estate Vineyard and Winery's 5th year open to the public. To celebrate this special anniversary weekend November 11 through 13, the Galer Winery tasting room will have customer appreciation wine specials, discounts, cheese vendors, art show, raffles, wine tours and live music Saturday and Sunday. Galer Estate Vineyard and Winery is located just behind Longwood Gardens at 700 Folly Hill Road in Kennett Square. Since opening, Galer Estate wines have earned more than 100 medals and awards for excellence in national and international competitions. In the Autumn and Winter months the tasting room is open to the public from 12 to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 12 to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
The property formerly known as Folly Hill Vineyards was purchased by Brad and Lele Galer in 2007, three years after they had planted a 7 acre vineyard at their home in Pocopson township. After four years of replanting at Folly Hill and complete reconstruction and design of the new state of the art winery facility, Galer Estate opened its doors to the public in November 2011.
From the start, the winery motto "Blending Nature, Science and Art" was a part of every decision. "We wanted to make the best quality wine from Pennsylvania grown grapes, on par with France and California" states co-owner Dr. Brad Galer, "and we exceeded our greatest expectations."
Galer Estate's winemaker, Virginia Mitchell, recently won Gold in the International Women's Winemaking Competition, and Silver in the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Competition for the 2014 Red Lion Chardonnay. The Red Lion Chardonnay is un-oaked, while the Reserve Chardonnay is slightly oaked in French oak barrels. The 2015 vintage was released earlier this month.
Galer wines also include Cabernet Franc, Albarino, Pinot Gris, dry Rosé, red blends, white blends, and a Vidal Blanc dessert wine. 90% of the grapes in Galer wines are produced at the 2 estate Galer Vineyards, Red Lion at the winery site and the Home Vineyard at the Galer's home in Pocopson, and the other 10% are from within a 30 mile radius of the winery. The Galer vineyards are managed by Jan Grimes, Brandywine Vines owner, who pays meticulous care and attention to the vines and grapes throughout the year.
"We owe our success to a terrific team of people: Virginia Mitchell - Winemaker and General Manager, Jan Grimes - Vineyard Manager, Joshua Towber -Sales and Marketing Manager, Cate Kelly - Events Manager, and a wonderful sales team in the tasting room." Says co-owner Lele Galer. "From the start, Brad and I had lots of passion and energy, but we also needed expertise, which we were fortunate to get from true all stars in the industry: Lucy Morton, John Levenberg and Mark Chien. We are so grateful to all of our customers and friends who have been so supportive and enthusiastic. It has been a great adventure and we couldn't be more proud of the winery and all the people who work here."
To celebrate the anniversary weekend, November 12 through 13, all wine purchases will be discounted 15%, there will be a raffle for a romantic night at the winery bungalow for two, and a wine basket of Galer wines. Every day at 1pm there will be a winery tour with the Galers and Virginia Mitchell. Bill Hake plays Saturday 5 to 7 p.m., and The Northbrook Bluegrass Pickers will play Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. There will be complimentary food, an art show on Saturday and a Chester County cheese vendors on Sunday with La Baguette Magique.
Every weekend guests are welcome to bring small picnics to enjoy at the tasting room, or enjoy a cheese board with a selection of cheeses from the Farm at Doe Run. Friday night features a discounted wine during Happy Hour and live music is available Saturday evening year-round! Sunday afternoons usually have a local author book signing, art show of local art, or an art class or lecture. For more information about Galer Estate Vineyard and Winery go to www.galerestate.com.

Heron Studio Announces its 19th Annual Show and Sale
Two weekends Friday and Saturday fifteen Artists Showcase their Work
Heron Studio's 19th Annual Show and Sale in Aston, PA is an open studio event featuring the seven resident artists of Heron Studios and eight guest artists. The opening night party will be Friday, November 11th from 6 pm-9 pm. On November 12-13 and 19-20 the show will be open from 11 am to 5 pm. The shows' visitors will be delighted to see the artists' inspiring studio spaces and get to meet the artists themselves who create these wonderful things in their various chosen mediums.
The building in Rockdale is a historic gem on Mount Road. It has been continuously occupied since its construction in the 1830s. Visitors to the art show and sale can see that very little of the building's structure has changed since it was first used as a textile factory. A walker traveling along the Chester Creek in Rockdale, Pennsylvania in 1830 would have seen busy factories spinning raw materials into yarns and string. The factory floor would have had many women learning their crafts, teaching others, and perfecting the efficiency of the machines of the Industrial Revolution.
Today, one of these factories is the home of many artists, who like their 18th century brothers and sisters, are perfecting their craft and exploring the limits of their art. Like the workers of the early days, Heron Studio artists not only work on their own craft, but help their studio mates reach the goals of their own work. The building's large, tall windows allow the light so desired by artists everywhere. The thick, strong beams made it possible for individual studios and display spaces to be created in the vast floor space of the old factory. The surrounding landscape with a creek, trees, flowers, and wildlife, has a look of untouched wildness and beauty that creates an inspiring backdrop for the creation of art.
The seven artists of Heron Studios work in various mediums and styles.
Mary Gordon's oil paintings continue to evolve as the long horizontal format captures her imagination. Her new paintings yield physical clues to man’s hand in transforming the Midwestern farm landscape. These images evoke conflicting ideas for continuing current interventions in our natural world.
Mixed media artist, Marion Kassab, explores the theme of repetitive forms in sculpture and in clay prints.
John Moser offers beautiful live-edge furniture in a variety of wood species. He takes great pride in his craftsmanship and strives to produce quality furniture at a fair and honest price. These live-edge pieces are perfect for everyone's style because each piece is totally unique in shape, size, and color.
Lorri Primavera's signature style has evolved by mixing simple jewelry elements that are bohemian, traditional, and eclectic. Inspired by nature, paintings, and sculpture, her limited edition necklaces, bracelets, and earrings evoke classic yet modern themes. Using freshwater pearls, leather, stones, and sterling in surprising juxtapositions, she creates a powerful, sophisticated, and very wearable look.
Jane Porter's fall collection includes a new series of handwoven fair trade scarves dyed with natural dyes.
Contemporary sculptor Amy Ralston combines natural and man-made objects in unexpected ways, eliciting thought-provoking and visceral reactions.
Sean Roach’s oil paintings explore contemporary landscapes, people and still life.
In addition to the seven resident Heron Studio artists, eight invited artists will again fill the gallery with their wonderful work.
Ceramicist Ann Suchecki puts hand carving or brushwork on her salt and wood fired functional shapes. Joel Marcus crafts one of a kind ukuleles using inlay and marquetry. Emilie Cole exhibits her wire wrapped jewelry. Shelley Creech incorporates collage in her two-dimensional mixed media paintings. Ceramicist and sculptor Bob Deane will present his current works in clay. Penny Emery makes one-of-a-kind functional ceramic pieces that combine throwing, hand building and distinctive glazing. Kathy McCarron creates amazing detailed felted animals from wool that will delight your senses.
To honor artist Lisa Sparling, there will be a special posthumous showing of her paintings and prints.
Guitar and mandolin music will fill the air on opening night. Musical artists include Silvio Navarro and Jacob Brewer. They will soften the atmosphere with their acoustic guitar music. Graham Brewer and Adam Monico will play mandolin adding another texture to the air. During the weekend, Swukestra (Swarthmore Ukulele Orchestra) brings their magical sound to our studios.
Bring your friends and family to see, hear and experience the art event of the year! Heron Studios is located at 739 Mount Road in Aston, PA. The GPS cross streets are Red Hill Road and Mount Road.
To contact Heron Studios or to see more about the studio and its artists, go to heronartstudios.com on the web or like us on Facebook: Heron Gallery and Studios.
Our GPS coordinates are Red Hill & Mount Road, Aston, PA 19014.
The Sanderson Shopping Spree is back by popular demand. Stop by the Sanderson Museum for a unique market experience with local crafters and artisans from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12.
In this class, we will learn about the use of talismans and look at a number of different symbols, stone, and colors that can be useful in our daily lives. We will then create our own talisman using polymer based class, and acrylic pain. Please feel free to bring your own design if you have one, and/or stones yo might like to incorporate into your talisman. You should also wear a smock, apron, or something you won't mind getting messy in.
The class will be taught by Helena Domenic, an art history and art history professor at Cheyney University for over 12 years. Helena is also a professional artist and gallery curator who enjoys learning about and sharing knowledge of symbols and symbolism, and learning how to use them in her own life.
