The Los Angeles Theatre Center will be the host venue for a Los Angeles Wine Tasting Gourmet Rendezvous, on Friday, August 12. A vintage 60s fashion show produced by Dave Temple from Clever Vintage Clothing, providers for the Mad Men TV series will help set the mood. Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack provided a solid Hollywood feel to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Inaugural Gala, among the guests were Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Gene Kelly, Tony Curtis, Bette Davis, Peter Lawford, Jimmy Durante and more. Phil Stern captured the event with his iconic photographs which will be on display. A live jazz performance adds to the evening’s ambience.
With the summer in full swing come on down to Downtown meet some new friends or bring some vintage ones along to sample the food and wines, and help support LATC. US wines are handpicked from boutique wineries by Buzz Wine Beer Shop; Italian wines imported by D’Aquino; Light appetizers and artisan cheeses from Nicole’s Gourmet Food; and dessert includes Grand Cru chocolate truffles by Yvan Valentin.
60s attire is encouraged but not mandatory. Think early 60s elegance.

LATC: 514 S Spring St, Los Angeles, CA 90013
