We’re Ready, Are You?

The Piano Girl - Jackie VierraWe’re gearing up – pulling bottles, stacking boxes, shining glasses, tuning pianos….wait! Tuning pianos?

That’s right!  Get ready to marvel at the talents of 26 year old Jackie Vierra , a graduate of the Academy of Arts University in San Francisco and a Lodi vintner, who has taken the lead in capturing the interest of Bay Area residents by creating the festival entry piece - a Led Zeppelin-esque painted piano.

The piano was rescued from a warehouse in Lodi and transported to Vierra’s family winery in Acampo. Jackie worked her magic to give the piano new energy and has now handed it over to winegrowers Joe and Sherri Cotta. The Cotta’s will load it up on their ’62 pickup and haul it over to Treasure Island!

While Joe Cotta is the featured pianist, he’ll share the stage with four other talented friends.

Join the fun this weekend at Treasure Island! We look forward to celebrating with you!
