ast month's inaugural
"Wine" Down of Season
event hosted by Vue
Grille & Bar was so successful,
restaurant staff is already busy
planning another six events
before the end of the year.
About 200 guests attended
the two-hour wine tasting and
food event that took place April
25 inside the Coachella Valley's
newest event hot spot — the
5,700-square-foot Pavilion
at Indian Wells Golf Resort.
This marked the first
time an event was held in
the Pavilion that was open
to the general public.
"Everyone loved it — we had
a great turnout for this time of
year," said Scott Winant, Direc-
tor of Food and Beverage. "It
gave us an opportunity to show-
case the Pavilion and the types
of events we can host."
Representatives from 40
prominent wineries including
Robert Mondavi, Pensfold and
Stags Leap Wine Cellars were
on hand to talk about new re-
leases. Guests not only sampled
great wines, but also could buy
at wholesale prices. Wineries
from California and the Pacific
Northwest to Argentina and
New Zealand sold about 50
cases collectively.
"It's a great chance to buy
wines you don't typically see in
the stores," Winant said.
Cost was $39 per person and
included appetizers, a carving
station and live music. Winant
says he expects the number of
wineries and guests to grow at
future events. The price will re-
main about the same.
"This coming fall we'll hold
our next event, which will be
called Wine Up," Winant says.
"The event was a success be-
cause it's such a great price
point for what is offered. Every-
one is already looking forward
to the next one."
In addition to the wine tast-
ings, Indian Wells Golf Resort
will host a beer tasting featur-
ing primarily California brew-
eries sometime in June.
