Wine OR Wine & Food

In recognition of the fact that ’tis the season to drink and be merry, and as a nod to Biblical holidays this month, Pourtal Wine Tasting Bar in Santa Monica has created a month long tasting program for December, featuring singular wines from both the ancient and modern birthplaces of wine, and events to tempt LA wine and food lovers. The Cradle of Wine series kicks off December 1st with all featured importers from the program on hand to pour their wines from 7-10pm.

The History of Wine spans thousands of years and is closely intertwined with the history of agriculture, cuisine, civilization and humanity Itself. Archaeological evidence suggests that the earliest wine production came from sites in Georgia and Iran (currently banning alcohol consumption), dating from 6000 to 5000 BC. The archaeological evidence becomes clearer and points to domestication of grapevine in the Early Bronze Age.
