"Maggie Harrison is the head of winemaking at Antica Terra in Oregon's Willamette Valley, where she has garnered a reputation as one of the most celebrated practitioners of the craft. With a group of artists-Julie Mehretu, Paul Pfeiffer, and Jessica Rankin-she recently unveiled a limited-edition box set of wines blended as part of a collaborative process that also included the creation of individual artworks packaged along with the bottles, in a self-described "Museum in a Box.""
"We have been allowing people who are not winemakers-a musician or a private client or a poet or a bonsai master-to join us in our making so that we could gain greater intimacy. We understand and feel our work in a way that is so profound to us, but there is a barrier to understanding because we can't explain exactly what it feels like and how we do what we do."
Maggie Harrison leads winemaking at Antica Terra in Oregon's Willamette Valley and has built a celebrated reputation. She collaborated with artists Julie Mehretu, Paul Pfeiffer, and Jessica Rankin to produce a limited-edition box set of blended wines accompanied by individual artworks, described as a "Museum in a Box." One hundred fifty sets were produced with proceeds designated to Denniston Hill, the artists' residency in the Catskills founded by Mehretu, Pfeiffer, and Lawrene Chua. Harrison opened an Art Meadow at Antica Terra featuring a site-specific installation by Lily Clark and plans another exhibition next year. She invites non-winemakers into the winemaking process to foster intimacy and shared understanding.
