One event I look forward to each year is Vintage Hollywood, an annual food and wine tasting event that takes place each June. This past week was the 18th annual...
National Rosé Day may be on the second Saturday in June, but every day is a good day to drink rosé, and especially during the summer. One rosé to try is Domaine de Cala. From Provence, France, but paying homage to Los Angeles, Domaine de Cala is a young brand, having recently released their fourth vintage, but has a great name behind it. Enjoy the story that I originally wrote about in the Napa Valley Register and share here.
Rosé season is officially here. While we now drink rosé year-round, it is ideal to drink in the summer months. The sun is shining, the temperatures are warm, and a glass of pink wine is refreshing, enjoyable and has the ability to pair with a wide range of foods.
When I was invited into the Los Angeles home of renowned chef Joachim Splichal for dinner, celebrating the new rosé releases from his estate winery, Domaine de Cala, I could not resist.
HATCH LA opened one year ago in downtown LA at The Bloc, a block-long open-air urban center located on 7th Street at the 7th Street Metro Stop. What was once a covered shopping mall housing Macy's and the Sheraton Grand Los Angeles Hotel is now a vibrant open space with restaurants and shops.
Hatch is a modern izakaya style restaurant serving yakitori, Japanese skewered chicken from organic Jidori chicken, as well as fresh raw fish and creative plates.
And now they are serving cocktails with a Japanese twist.
