Underground Wine Tasting Dinner.
June 6th at 7 pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our second UNDERGROUND WINE TASTING DINNER was held in a stunning four story Loft (pictured above)in the south facing wing of the former Southern California Edison Electric Power Station #3. The building itself was built in 1903 and is registered as a Historic Cultural Landmark by the City of Los Angeles.
A special thank you to photographers extraordinaire, Rob Greer and Vanessa Stump for lending us their beautiful studio/loft. Not only were they
gracious hosts, but they both took amazing photos of our guests and the
food! Please check out their blogs to see these incredible pictures.
The
next dinner will be held in September - watch this space for more details.
