The 100 POINT DINNER - Thurs, May 22 at 71Above

We focus on tasting the wines blind, we take our time and discuss the wines. The wines are decanted and compete against the other wines of equal merit. Only one wine wins the fight and then is promoted as the wine of the night!

Robert Parker says the difference between 98-100 points could be what he had for breakfast!

The 100 point dinner features multiple 100, 99, 98 point wines retailing over $10,000 and over $15,000 at restaurant value - all the wines are paired with amazing cuisine from one of LA's most brilliant restaurants 71ABOVE.

633 W 5TH STREET, 71ST FLOOR, LOS ANGELES

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, a city that is filled with different cultures and diversity. As a young child, my father exposed me to the gastronomy of LA--Middle Eastern, Mexican and Thai foods. I began cooking at 10 and got my first restaurant job at 17 working at the Jonathan Club under Chef Josh Gil. That’s where my creativity started to take shape.

I stay motivated by my family’s humble beginnings in Nicaragua and aspire to motivate my kitchen staff.
