Local Event
We are thrilled to announce a truly unique wine dinner in an utterly Hollywood setting. This intimate farmers market-to-table meal will be prepared and hosted by chef, cookbook author, and Food Network personality Bob Blumer (aka the Surreal Gourmet) under the stars at his home below the “D” of the iconic Hollywood sign.
LearnAboutWine's Sommelier Ian Blackburn has selected wine pairings that will "dazzle and delight" even the most discerning connoisseur. Ian and the team will provide extraordinaire service for this event.
To take this event up a notch, we are requiring each guest (or couple) to bring a special bottle "with a meaningful story to share with the table." An old champagne? A storied white? A ancient red? A rare dessert wine? Which will you bring, what will it reveal about you, and what conversations will it spark?! In return, Bob will gift each guest/couple with a copy of his award-winning cookbook Glutton for Pleasure.
Gastronaut, author, and eight-time Guinness World Record holder Bob Blumer is best known as the creator and host of Food Network’s award-winning shows Surreal Gourmet, Glutton for Punishment, and World’s Weirdest Restaurants. He has also written seven cookbooks in which he transforms ordinary ingredients into wow-inspiring dishes through simple cooking methods and whimsical presentations that have become his culinary trademark. His multi-award-winning 7th book Flavorbomb: A Rogue Guide to Making Everything Taste Better is a collection of the tricks, tips, hacks and techniques he gleaned as he ate his way around the globe for the past 25 years. The Toronto Sun says “Blumer once again pushes boundaries, but in a way that encourages readers to let go their own culinary hesitations to create simple meals built on layers of flavor.”
