Save Water, Drink Wine: Wine & Spirits Magazine's 'Hot Picks' Event
I apologize for being quiet for so long. There's been a lot happening, but things should calm down now...I hope. But for now, consider buying tickets to the events listed below, from W & S Magazine, if you're in the area. Should be some fabulous wine and the price isn't bad, especially when proceeds benefit such great organizations!

(March 27, 2008, Los Angeles, CA) – Wine & Spirits Magazine
will showcase their critics’ favorite wines of the world while
featuring local, young wine professionals and restaurants in the
two-city tasting event HOT PICKS. The tour will kickoff in Los Angeles
on Thursday, May 22, 2008 from 7 - 10 pm. LA HOT PICKS is set in MODAA
Gallery, a world-class mixed use architectural studio, art museum, and
artist loft space located at 8609 Washington Boulevard in the
culturally burgeoning Culver City. In keeping with Wine & Spirits
Magazine’s mission to raise awareness of water conservation issues,
proceeds of LA HOT PICKS will benefit the Surfrider Foundation. The
second HOT PICKS will take place on July 9 in Seattle, at The Paramount
Theatre, benefiting Puget Soundkeeper Alliance.
The events celebrate the “Critics’ Picks” list which will be featured in the June, 2008 issue. W&S
critics taste and evaluate more than 9,000 wines a year. Their favorite
wines—what they deem accessible, delicious and affordable—comprise this
list. These are the wines that they scour wine lists and retail shelves
for daily—what's in their fridge and on the table at their dinner
parties. The LA May event coincides with the release of the June issue.
HOT PICKS is designed to reach a mix of millennial and gen Y wine
consumers; all featured sommeliers and wine experts are under the age
of 35. The event offers Los Angeles oenophiles a multi-level experience
that brings together great wine, cuisine from a handful of select local
restaurants, and the opportunity to meet ten of their city’s most
exciting, up-and-coming wine professionals.
Tickets are $75 and available at http://www.wineandspiritsmagazi
