Some information about these talented performers…

 

Adriana’s impassioned performances and choreographies have conquered stages throughout North and South America, Asia, and Europe including New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, Festival Flamenco Internacional de Albuquerque, Vancouver Flamenco Festival, Zurich Theatrehaus, Milan’s Teatro Litta.  Adriana is a native of Albuquerque with Cuban and Paraguayan background and currently resides in Jerez, Spain.

 

Juan, originally from Cadiz, Spain, began to play the guitar at nine years of age. He comes from a traditional Andalucian family where flamenco has been part of growing up, with his father, Paco, sisters, and uncles all “aficionados” of flamenco singing.  His professional experiences have been growing up in the famous Spanish penas (flamenco bar clubs) of Cadiz, like “La Perla” and learning from masters like Juan Villar, Enrique “El Mellizo”  and Manolo Sanlucar.

 

Vicente Griego “El Cartucho” from Dixon/Embudo, New Mexico has devoted his life to the study of cante flamenco, the art of flamenco singing.  In 1992, Vicente began touring the US, Canada and Latin America with the Jose Greco II Flamenco Dance Company, where he was mentored by Caño Roto singer, Alfonso “Veneno” of Madrid, Spain.

Winemaking 301
Wednesday, February 24^th
5:30p – 8:30p

This course will be the most cerebral and mentally demanding of all the classes.  By using essential oils we will discuss the olfactory relationships between them and a dozen different wines.  There will be a fair amount of writing for this class.  In order to get the most out of this class, you must have taken Winemaking 201.

Light hors d’oeuvres will be served with the wine tasting.  Cost is $35 per person, class is open to members and their guests ONLY.  Space is very limited, so please contact the winery today at (505) 344-5911 or info@casarondena.com to make reservations.
