Room Forty, A Restaurant Without Walls

When is a restaurant not a restaurant? When it's Room Forty, a 'restaurant without walls' that hosts winemaker dinners in alternative venues and also does private catering. They work with winemakers to create events in an undisclosed, non-restaurant environment. Each month features one winemaker and several dinners, usually one in Los Angeles and one in Orange County. February's winemaker is Russell From, owner and winemaker of Herman Story Wines. From was one of the first winemakers to work with Room Forty and makes Santa Barbara wines including Syrah and Grenache. Tickets are $150 and upon confirmation of your ticket purchase, you will receive an email with location specifics.
