Raise a Glass: East LA Meets Napa

1 Comment 21 June 2011

Want a taste of East Los with a swig of Napa, all while helping those in need? Then it’s time to dig into your pockets and get ready to taste, rattle and swirl at AltaMed’s 6th Annual East LA Meets Napa celebration at Union Station on Friday, July 8. This year the tasty fundraiser is all about the regional cuisine of Michoacán, considered by many to be Mexico’s soul food.  There’ll be live music, lots of mingling and a total of 60 wine and food pairing stations will feature the best wine and food from Latino-owned or Latino-operated Napa Valley wineries.

East LA Meets Napa gives foodies and oenophiles the opportunity to support AltaMed’s mission of increasing access to quality and culturally relevant health and human services to under-served communities in Southern California.  Salud!

Friday, July 8, 6pm-9pm @ Union Station, 800 N Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90012.  Tickets $150 if purchased by June 30; $200 if purchased July 1-July 8. No tickets will be sold at the door.

    this looks great and who doesn’t want to support Altamed, but $200 a head is way out of my range…
