Event of the Week

Downtown Rooftop Wine Pairing Soiree

Los Angeles Athletic Club
3/26/2010 - 3/26/2010

Let yourself be guided by wine and gourmet food experts on a unique tour of wines from pioneer regions born in the early 1900s, paired with artisan cheeses including Brillat-Savarin created in the 1930s. Savor the sweeter side of things with Grand Cru chocolates from Valrhona featuring some of the best cocoa plantations from around the world.

Venice-based Dustbowl Revival will be merging old school gypsy rhythms with bluegrass, gospel and folk blues. To top off this wine pairing experience, you will enjoy amazing night views on downtown's historic core from the Los Angeles Athletic Club's rooftop patio.
