| | | | | | | We're auctioning off the original oil painting that's on the cover of the June/July issue to benefit the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund. All the proceeds from the auction will go to this crucial California nonprofit.
This painting, by celebrated artist Noah Verrier, would be the perfect addition to any kitchen, or on the wall near a wine cellar. And it's the ideal gift for any wine lover.
The California Issue is, naturally, focused on California wine, so we wanted to give back to the Golden State, which is still recovering from January's devastating fires.
Place your bid today to benefit the California Community Foundation's important work. The auction closes on Sunday, June 22. | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | Wine Enthusiast commissioned renowned artist Noah Verrier to paint the iconic cheeseburger and fries paired with wine, and he executed the assignment brilliantly. Verrier is a Tallahassee-based artist specializing in oil painting. His work has been exhibited around the world, and he's been commissioned by brands like Dunkin', Popeyes, Little Caesars, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and Olipop. Verrier's oil paintings of everyday food and drink items have garnered him a cult following, and paintings like his still life of an Uncrustable have gone viral online. | | | | | | The oil painting depicts a wine bottle and glass paired with a cheeseburger and fries. It's beautifully rendered in the style of an Old Master still life. The artwork was featured on the cover of Wine Enthusiast's 2025 California Issue. The painting measures 11 inches by 14 inches and will be shipped with a certificate of authenticity and a copy of The California Issue. | | | | | | The California Community Foundation has served as a public, charitable organization for Los Angeles County since 1915. "When wildfires tore through Los Angeles County this January, they left behind more than just burned landscapes—they disrupted lives, displaced families, and devastated community spaces," the foundation reports. "The California Community Foundation responded swiftly, raising over $30 million to support nearly 200 nonprofit organizations providing critical services to those most in need." | | | | | | | | |
