Scotch or Wine, Just Not at the Same Time

Start the Oscar weekend off right at The Grille in Santa Monica. Beginning this Saturday, The Grille kicks off its monthly “Open The Bottle Night!” (OTBN!) dinner series. On this inaugural dinner night, celebrate by bringing in your very own special bottle of wine. You’ll have so much fun, no doubt you’ll come back for more and bring all your friends with you. Best of all, The Grille will have a wine already picked out for you. Enjoy Australian Shiraz in March, Pinot Noir in April, and Sauvignon Blanc in May. Of course what’s wine without a good meal, which is why their talented culinary team will create a prix fixe menu to compliment the wine, which will also be available during the week. Call (310) 576-3111 to make reservations.

But if scotch is your thing, then you’ll be happy to know that throughout the month of March, The Koi Pond will be the home to Glenmorangie. It will feature its 18-year old single Highland malt scotch whisky, aged to perfection in 1987 Chateau Margeaux barrels. The scotch will even be paired up with several different chocolates from the decadent Recchiuti Confections. Scotch lovers should call (310) 576-7777 ext. 3914 for reservations.
