German author Jean Paul Richter once said that art is "not the bread but the wine of life." Perhaps that's why the folks at the Chestnut Hill Gallery are throwing a wine party to introduce buyers and art aficionados to emerging artists such as Bill Campbell, Elaine Lisle and David Hyde. The wines, from Crossing Vineyards in Washington's Crossing, will be served by bacchanal sommelier Dave Bond, and include chardonnay, blush, viognier, chambourcin and wildberry. Chestnut Hill Gallery Wine Tasting and Art Extravaganza, 8117 Germantown Ave., 215-248-2549, www.chestnuthillgallery.com.
