I'll be pouring the good stuff (and I mean the really good stuff) at this fun event on Wednesday. It'll be held in the BonaVista Lounge on top of the Westin Bonaventure hotel downtown. These folks are very enthusiastic and kinda kookoo so Wine Brats events are far from stuffy old-dude style wine tastings. Added bonus: The BonaVista Lounge has SEVERAL custom ceramic souvenir drink mugs, all in shapes depicting different aspects of California and Los Angeles. Come eat good food, drink fabulous wine, take home souvenir mugs, help a worthy cause and have fun!

My first job out of college was manager of Bonavista Lounge. In case you don't know, it rotates. I loved it when I was seating guests and they would say "I don't want to sit in front of this beam, I can't see the view." To which I would reply "don't worry, you'll rotate past it."

Downtown L.A. is quite a sight at Christmastime (but I imagine it will look great on Jan. 28th also!)
