Underground Wine Tasting Dinner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our premiere UNDERGROUND WINE TASTING DINNER was held in a beautiful Penthouse Loft (pictured above) with stunning art and views of downtown. It was a huge success (see menu and wines below!)and we can't wait to do it all over again on June 6th!
A special thank you to Amy Atwood, David Forbes and the fabulous mushrooms from hokto-kinoko.
The
next dinner will also be held in an amazing loft down town and be comprised of five courses matched with some of our favorite wines.
The location will be provided when you confirm your reservation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Claudio Blotta(formerly Managing Partner and Wine Director of CAMPANILE and LA TERZA) just opened BARBRIX in Silver Lake. I had the pleasure of attending opening night and the food is spectacular!! All of chef Don Dickman's bite size plates can be shared or enjoyed individually. Be sure to order the Halibut and the farro salad! Support our newest addition to the Silver Lake great dining experience! And ask Claudio to show you the special meat slicer that he brought back from his home town of Buenos Aires. It looks like a piece of art!

Strange but true.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My favorite thing about May . . . the Eurovision Song Contest. Before AMERICAN IDOL - there was the Eurovision Song Contest. This year it is being held in Moscow from May 12th - 16th. Check it out on YOUTUBE.
ABBA won in 1974. Can you name another band that has won since??
We can't, but bad has never been so good.
