I know of restaurants that do them but I always seem to find out about them after the fact. Thu Jan 10 11:07:41 -0800 2002 0 Jordan Allen 1 245572 Check out the Local Wine Events site for your area (Los Angeles linked below). Traffic isn't as high yet as for up here, but it's worth a try.

The James Beard Society may also be a resource.

They frequently stage wine dinners that are terrific, I've been to many of them. They are also the most knowledgeable and most most comprehensive store on Italian wines, certainly in L.A. and possibly the country. You can also subscribe to their mailing list for news of dinners etc., but don't have the address handy. I'm sure you can get it if you call them. BTW, I have no affiliation, just a satisfied customer. Thu Jan 10 14:15:54 -0800 2002 245568 0 Patrick D. 1 245593 I occasionally go to events sponsored by the Winebrats. It's a national organization with a chapter here in LA. They come up with some pretty cool stuff. The URL is below.
