For the last three and a half years, Wine Steals Point Loma has treated locals to many different food and wine pairings. This weekend, the Liberty Station wine bar will showcase its pairings of art and wine. Wine Steals Point Loma will host an art show featuring Stephanie Clair, the San Diego artist whose art is featured on their private label bottles, on Saturday, Dec. 12 from 4 to 8 p.m. The show is free, with the option of buying tickets that include food and wine pairings. “It’s funny, whenever I do art shows I’ll have the wine bottles at my event and people are always like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re the Wine Steals artist,’” Clair said. Clair’s art appears on Wine Steals’ bottles and advertising, and her paintings appear in each of their four San Diego locations. She became the featured artist at Wine Steals after she frequented its Hillcrest location, which inspired her to create a painting called “Wine Down.” “Being that I loved the place and everything that it represented for couples that meet there, I decided to do a painting,” Clair said. “When I painted it, I contacted the owner and I said, ‘You need to have this painting in your place.’ He loved the painting. We ended up becoming really good friends and I ended up selling him one of the pieces.” Clair’s art regularly features couples and wine, characteristics that made it a perfect match for Wine Steals. Her romantic style influenced by cubism blends nicely with the casual, laid-back ambience at Wine Steals. “It’s a great place for couples to hang out and it’s very, very low-key, super-chill and relaxing,” Clair said. Located at 2970 Truxtun Road, Wine Steals Point Loma has been open on the Peninsula since May 2007. In addition to Hillcrest, Wine Steals has locations in Cardiff and East Village. “The building is the most unique part about it. The building was one of the first on the [former Naval Training Center] property and it was built in the 1920s. It’s historical and just gorgeous inside,” said Tasha Elkovitch, Wine Steals’ corporate wine buyer. “The ambiance of the look and feel of it inside is different than all the other locations.” Every week, Wine Steals features a new list of 40 wines from all over the world. Those wines are available by the glass and can also be purchased by the bottle. “Most places you go to enjoy a wine by the glass don’t change their wines by the glass except maybe every three to six months, so it’s pretty unique that you get to have a whole different list every single week,” Elkovitch said. “It’s constantly evolving and rotating.” The Wine Steals menu is geared to go with its wines, and features salads, meat and cheese boards and specialty pizzas that are named for their corresponding wines. The cuisine will be featured during Saturday’s art show. Tickets for wine and food pairings are $25 in advance and $30 at the door and can be purchased at www.wine-stealssd.com. Clair’s artwork will be on display and for sale at discounted prices and can be found at www.steph-anieclair.com.
