Lewis Black has been all over the place these past few years. He’s appeared in such films and TV shows as ACCEPTED, UNACCOMPANIED MINORS, and ROOT OF ALL EVIL, had several cable stand-up specials (BLACK ON BROADWAY, STARK RAVING BLACK, and RED, WHITE AND SCREWED), regularly rants on THE DAILY SHOW (“Back in Black”), and has written the bestsellers NOTHING’S SACRED and ME OF LITTLE FAITH. Back in March, we saw him at the Rubin Museum, where he participated in “Brainwave 2009: Meetings of the Minds” discussing rage with anger management psychologist Robert Allan. And tonight he’ll be at City Winery, releasing his limited-edition vintage Black Red Wine, described as a “compelling high-end, spicy, upfront and robust mix of premium California Napa and Lake Country Cabernet Sauvignon.” The $125 ticket – all of which goes to the 52nd Street Project, a “not-for-profit organization that matches the kids (age 9 to 18) of Hell’s Kitchen in New York City with professional theater artists to create original theater” – gets you hors d’oeuvres, a wine tasting, and a bottle of the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon blend, signed by Black and City Winery winemaker David Lecomte. We’ve all heard Black rant and rage, but tonight you can get to see him w(h)ine.
