SONOMA,
California (October, 2008) –The paintings of Bay

He is represented by the SF MOMA Artist’s Gallery,

canvas works depicting vineyard and winery scenes in and
around Sonoma and Napa.
His work has graced album covers and event posters
and is in the collections of Madonna, the lobbies

permanent collection and the Sacramento County Building

Montanino studied with Jack Ogden at California State
University, Sacramento, where he received his Bachelor
of Arts degree.
He has had numerous solo exhibits and was the recipient
of the California State Fair Award of Excellence
in 1989, 92, 96 and 1998. He was also the subject
of several profiles in the Sacramento Bee and honored
with the 1985-86 Robinson-Witt Memorial Fellowship.

Tasting Room Manager Alan Wastell and his stalwart crew look forward to hosting you.
