Soup, Ceramics and Wine at the Pines

Join us for a night of soup and wine!

Are there rules on soup and wine pairings?  Well, there are suggestions.  And serving certain soups in certain bowl types? Yep, there are those too.  And, there is even soup etiquette, which varies across the globe.  We’ll provide you with some of these fun facts (and you can do with them what you’d like).

More importantly, we’ll have five soups for you to taste along with all their accoutrements!

We are partnering with Kimmel Orchard and Vineyard to provide five wine pairings to accompany our homemade soups. Ben will guide you through flavor profiles and perfect pairings with the Nebraska Kimmel Orchard wines.

And, what’s better than just soup and wine on a chilly Midwest January evening?  To add to your experience we’ll feature two Nebraska ceramic artists, Tim Reese and Peter Scherr, and offer you opportunity to dine using their handmade wares! They will have these and other pieces available for purchase.  Samples of their work featured below.

The Bee-nefit, an interactive art installation by Ashley Ryba

Ashley Ryba creates interactive installations about environmental conservation, which require the participation of the audience to complete the project. Though she primarily works with clay, her materials are determined on a project-to-project basis. Through her work, she hopes to foster an appreciation for our natural environment, and in the viewers, spark a desire to do their part in protecting it. Ryba was born in Columbus, Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with her Bachelors of Fine Arts in 2014. While earning her undergraduate degree, she received the Kimmel Foundation Emerging Artist Award, the 2014 Undergraduate Vreeland Award, the Elgas Project Grant, and was a recipient of the UCARE Undergraduate Research Award, assisting ceramicist and UNL Emerita Professor Gail Kendall for two years. She was an artist-in-residence at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City in 2014.
