Just in time for Valentine's Day...Chocolate Fondue


Now...a bit about cheese!  If you're wondering how to pair wine and cheese, here are a few helpful hints.  As a general rule, full-bodied cheeses (emmental, Edam, Cheddar) go well with full bodied wine (Merlot, Beaujolais); light, sweet cheeses (Brie, Camembert) with sparling rose, Champagne, Pinot Noir.

More aromatic varieties (Bleu, Limburger) will complement a strong red wine or a hearty Burgundy, Shiraz, Sauvignon; or create a contrast by pairing them with a Port or Sherry.

Your median varities, or milder cheeses (Edam, Gouda, Cheddar), complement a milder wine (Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay).

Milk varieties include sheep's milk (Manchego) which pairs well with fruity or sweet wine (Gewurtztramminer, Sauternes); while goat cheeses work well with whites like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Riesling.

What is Painting with a Twist?? SO glad you asked!
What's the Twist? ... Whatever you want it to be! Since we specialize in encouraging creativity in sometimes hesitant artists-in-denial, some of our patrons enjoy uncorking a bottle of wine, unscrewing a beer, or downing a carton of chocolate milk -- just to get the juices flowing, so to speak. You bring WHATEVER you'd like to eat and drink to our art parties, and we supply the rest (you know, the art stuff)!
We offer 2 and 3 hour art parties. Check out our calendar by clicking the cleverly named "Calendar" tab, and choose the painting you'd like to come express yourself with! You'll see the date of the painting, the time we've designated to paint the painting, and what the painting looks like. *Private parties will not have a painting shown on the calendar. You can register by clicking the Reserve button under your desired party picture and following online instructions, which will also walk you through the credit card process (we accept all major plastics). If you'd rather not pay until you arrive for the party, simply call us at 409-866-0399 - we'll take a credit card number to hold your spot. Please note we require a 24 hour cancellation notice due to the fact that our awesome and diligent artists prepare materials the day before you're scheduled to make your artistic showing. Reservations are always recommended so we can make sure we have enough assistant help, classes sometimes sell out, and occasionally classes don't meet the minimum number of party-goers so we will switch the painting... if you just "show up" we guarantee you a good time, but the painting may be a surprise

               Consider a good amber--soft, inviting caramel hues.  Compound this with an immediate, sensational (but never abbrassive) aroma, supporting a thick, dark, creamy head that fosters rich notes of honey and brown sugar.  NOT typical of most craft ambers.  And the subtle but articulate approach of dried fruits (raison, apricot), black walnut, and an almost apologetically moderate hop.  The picture being painted on your pallet should resemble this beer:  Full Sail Amber.  It should be noted that this beer travels along way from a great home just to be with us--from Forthood, Oregon.  Mike Jackson--one of the world's foremost authorities  on lagers, ales, alt-bier, lambics, you-name-it, refers to the Pacific Northwest as "Munich-On-The-Williamette [a regional river system]."  More beer is brewed per capita in the Pacific Northwest than anywhere else in the world.  In southeast Texas, one mwould be wise to remember:  If you can find beer from Washington or Oregon state(s), buy 'em and try 'em.  Most of the regions beer never crosses the state line.  And, as the weather has been unseasonable, so must we:  Full Sail Amber is, thankfully, a year-round release that will go just as well with a winter's chili (or gumbo) as it will with light, smokey summer sausages.
