Los Angeles Wine-Bogart Wine Aficionado Dinner

The evening, aptly called “Dial M for Merlot,” features three flights, each comprised of two to three wines, all of which are Merlot-based wines from different wine regions across the globe. The various flights will feature highly sought after wines from eminent producers such as Arietta, Avignonesi, Blackbird Vineyards, Château Clinet, Chateau Monbousquet, and Chateau Quinault.

One of the evening’s highlights is a live auction helmed by expert auctioneer and event co-chair Ann Colgin of Colgin Cellars.

The motivation for this high class revelry is the Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program, which conducts the leukemia and cancer research for infants, children, and adolescents at the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Over the last five years, the Wine Aficionado Dinner has raised over $1.1 Million for the Bogart Research Program. Funds raised by Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program enable the foundation to receive more support for its research and care, resulting in 8 to 10 dollars in research grants for every dollar raised.
