Words and Artwork by katherine sandoz
Antonio Terni’s family has been making wine in La Marche at Fattoria Le Terrazze since 1882. A nuclear engineer, Signore Terni adores grapes and Bob Dylan. In the late 90s, inspired by the musician-artist, Terni’s team created Visions of J. It’s a very fancy Rosso Conero DOC. In 2004, Terni invited Dylan to collaborate on a Merlot/Montepulciano blend named after Dylan’s 1974 Planet Waves.
It is the century of Terni wine-making and Antonio’s fervent and infectious “bob-catting” – a mysterious blend of tradition, love and veneration – that delights us.
Mr. Terni, for your next endeavor, maybe we should come celebrate with you; “salt and style” your estate? We cook, photograph, write, paint, video, record and design from the food and drink we study.
And we like our wine cool.

Portrait by Cedric Smith
A victim of a Little House on the Prairie experiment, Katherine Sandoz spent a large part of her childhood trail blazing the White Mountains with her trusty mare Bonnie. After an enlightening stint at Mount Holyoke College, Katherine enlisted in the United States Army where at Fort Jackson she became a expert grenade thrower (and that’s not all). It is also where she first realized the warmer, southern climate suited her in a big, bad way. With advertising as her first career, and art as her second and third, Katherine has lived in Savannah since 1995. She holds two masters from SCAD where she taught for almost a decade, has two young boys, two dogs and just one husband who she calls “Horace” though that is not his name. She spends her “not free” time on tidal creeks and waterways where she gathers fodder for storytelling and paintings.
