AWSLA is the Los Angeles chapter of the American Wine Society. The AWS was founded in 1967 as a non-profit, educational, consumer-oriented organization for those interested in learning more about all aspects of wine. AWSLA hosts at least one regular wine and food event every month. We'll be posting those, as well as many other wine related events that our members want to attend. These will include everything from high end tasting events, to informal BYO dinners, to afternoons at local wine bars. …

Open to all fellow Wine Enthusiasts, Lovers of Great food and Vineyard Adventures. Our goal is to enjoy all aspects of Wine.  From Wine Tasting, Wine Education, Wine Pairing, Cooking Classes with Wine, and any other enjoyment of the Grape we can think of.  We will be moving our Meetups to different locations to best sample different Wines, Food, and Ambiances. Everyone's welcome, from new bouquet-sniffers to educated connoisseurs.

We are a friendly, fun-loving couple that are incredibly passionate about good food and wine. We are looking for other couples who share this love so we can explore new restaurants together, have dinner parties, and conduct private wine tastings from our collections.

Even a weeknight is ok because you don't need a sitter and wh …

We'll forgo the trip to Napa, but still enjoy a bit of wine education, and more importantly a ton of fun! From my work as a rep with a Napa winery, I will plan blind wine tastings, educational outings and help our wine community grow. You can still experience a traditional tasting room. I also throw my own monthly, the …

To make it interesting for the our guest executive chef we challenge them to utilize the existing inventory  …
