Description
We may not be able to travel to New Zealand right now but we'll bring their wines to you! Ready for a wine-tasting experience?
Discover some of the best international wines you've never heard of?
Prepare your Brunch in advance, maybe cook it together or order in? (We'll even send along a few pairing and recipe suggestions). Then join Graham Painter and David Harlow who will take you on a journey to explore what makes New Zealand wines so special and they'll taste and discuss the various varietals right along with you!
With the wonderful brunch you've prepared, you'll taste and enjoy unique hard-to-find wines from the New Zealand Wine Country (of course, we'll ship to you in advance). We can't travel right now so let's spend some time learning about the country and their wine regions (maybe you can visit NEXT year)! And, you'll still have time to ask questions about the wine - and the country!

Graham and David are with NZ Wine Navigator - America’s #1 New Zealand wine specialist, satisfying wine lovers across the US with special, hard-to-find New Zealand wines from small, family estate producers – the backbone of New Zealand’s economy. Graham Painter, founder, ships the wine in bulk to a temperature-controlled warehouse in California ready for quick and cost-effective delivery to your home or office. David Harlow, a Sommelier, is the West Regional Manager, and also oversees getting those wines to your U.S. doorstep.
With the help of his daughter, Kristen, Graham sources the finest small-producer wines NZ has to offer. Family-estate and top quality are the benchmarks because Kiwis know that it can feel risky buying something from a far-off land.
To achieve the perfect balance, Cameron Douglas, their master sommelier, carefully curates a selection of premium labels from New Zealand ready to drink now or to put into the cellar - exceptional wines from small out of the way winemakers from a small, out of the way country, you’re in the right place!

Your 'Brunch' journey will include your choice of a THREE or FOUR bottle package/tasting:
THREE BOTTLE PACKAGE - $95.00 - will include:
Little Darling Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Great drinkability due to the freshness on the palate, with aromas of tropical fruit, passionfruit and lime on the nose and further hints of melon and citrus when sipped which adds a great length of flavor. This wine will drink well anytime complimenting white meats, salads, and seafood.
Forrest Rose 2018
Alive on the nose with strawberry, raspberry fruit flavors and just a hint of dry herbs – sage, thyme and rosemary. It’s ripe and fruity, yet crisp, refreshing and dry. Perfect for a warm summer's day “al fresco” lunch – smoked meats, aged cheeses, crisp salad and herb focaccia.
Ceres Composition Pinot Noir 2016
Attractive and engaging bouquet of ripe red berry fruits – raspberry, plum and cherry; plenty of spice and mineral tones with a wild red rose perfume. On the palate – dry, fruity with flavors that reflect the nose – wild raspberry and plum, moderate toasty oak and oak spice layer, loads of energy, fine tannins and plenty of acidity; youthful. Serve with venison, roasted baby potatoes and a rocket salad with a zesty vinaigrette.
If you choose the FOUR BOTTLE PACKAGE - $125.00 - we'll add an EXCEPTIONAL:
Vidal El Legado Syrah 2013 ($66 value)
This enticingly fragrant Syrah from the renowned Gimblett Gravels region in Hawke’s Bay shows aromas of violets, dark rose and underlying spice. Elegantly balanced, this wine is finely textured and has a long, concentrated finish. An exceptional wine that will age well over time.

The LAWineFest is proud to be in its 16th successful year, and although our 15th LA event was precluded from happening in 2020, we are planning to make it better than ever in the fall of 2021. This popular event blazed a trail in L.A. to bring wine and people together in a casual setting intended to welcome all. Now a local institution, we’re known to reliably deliver a relaxed event that balances fun, exploration and education. Our goal is to help people explore their taste in a festive environment. Our unofficial motto: Drink what you like; Like what you drink!
Now, we bring you the opportunity to experience international wines in a relaxed setting - your own home! We'll provide 'pairing recommendations' in advance so that you will enjoy the full 'brunch' experience. Additional 'Sunday Brunches & Tastings' featuring wines from many other countries will be announced shortly.
