Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared September “California Wine Month” for the fourth consecutive year. The one time restaurateur (anybody remember Schatzi on Main?) pointed to our state's wine community as “one of the largest and most successful wine producing regions in the world.”
"Every bottle of California wine served across the globe reflects our excellence and serves as an ambassador for our fantastic lifestyle, cuisine and culture," Schwarzenegger proclaimed.
As further proof of this belief, Schwarzenegger has also lent his support to the historic partnership between the Wine Institute and the California Travel & Tourism Commission (CTTC). The Governor recently appeared along with First Lady Maria Shriver in a national TV commercial promoting the state's wine and cuisine offerings.
At dineLA we agree that California wines are a defining feature of our colorful culinary character. They inspire our chefs to create some of the freshest, most inventive dishes in the world, and challenge our diners to develop sophisticated palates on par with those in the other great food cities around the globe.
In celebration of these facts we’ve teamed up with American Express to bring you wine & dineLA, two weeks of sensational wine pairing menus presented at over 40 of LA’s top restaurants, September 7 – 21, 2008. What better way to celebrate California Wine Month then with some of your favorite local chefs?
So savor a Paso Robles cabernet sauvignon in Santa Monica, sip a Russian River Valley pinot noir in Long Beach, or indulge in a Santa Barbara Viognier in Hollywood. Wherever you like to dine, and whatever you like to imbibe, LA has the perfect combination of ingredients to make the most of California Wine Month.
