The Oceanfront STARS of California Food and Wine Event
June 23, 2011
Los Angeles foodies and culture aficionados will have something
to celebrate besides the arrival of peaches and summer barbeques
this summer. A collection of California's culinary stars are coming
together on The Broad Stage at the Santa Monica College Performing
Arts Center in Santa Monica on Thursday, June 23 from 6:30 to 9:00
pm for a one-night celebration of California's culinary bounty,
known as "Stars of California." Organized by LearnAboutWine,
the event is a joint effort of seven resort chefs hailing from
coastal Orange County and a dozen of California's "cult" wineries,
including Brewer-Clifton Winery, Hirsch Vineyard and Winery,
Grassini Family Vineyards, and Baker Lane Vineyards. The
endeavor not only aims to pair collectible wines with contemporary
coastal cuisine from some of Southern California's best chefs; it
is also a celebration of a nine-month charity program, dubbed
"Getaway 2 Give," which supports non-profit causes through donation
of travel dollars. Stars of California tickets are $125 each or two
for $200; visit TheOCeanfrontCA.com or LearnAboutWine.com to
reserve beginning April 15, 2011. The ticket price includes all
wine and food, which will be presented by the winery owners,
winemakers, and resort chefs, who will be on-site to visit with
guests. www.LearnAboutWine.com
