Wine Notes at Hotel Milo Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2014 -- Raise a glass to learning about wine from experts in a paradise setting by the beach. The beachfront Hotel Milo Santa Barbara, formerly Hotel Oceana, announced today that the Independent Collection (IC) hotel will be teaming up with Californian elite sommeliers from Les Marchands, a local wine bar and merchant, for Wine Notes at Milo, a delightful series of bi-weekly wine nights. Les Marchands co-founders, Master Sommelier Brian McClintic and Food & Wine magazine’s 2014 Sommelier of the Year Eric Railsback, will lead the wine-filled series, which will focus on bringing sumptuous tastes from local wineries to treat, inform and indulge Milo guests.
“Tasting local wines is a quintessential part of visiting Santa Barbara. Spending time learning, tasting and unwinding with the wine-celebrities from Les Marchands is a real treat and a unique experience,” Hotel Milo General Manager Shelley Stearns said. “We are excited to host such a fun and enriching event for the community at our beachfront hotel.”
Wine Notes at Hotel Milo is an ongoing bi-weekly event where Les Marchands will feature a different local winery each time against the backdrop of the ocean on Hotel Milo’s patio. Les Marchands will host, pour, educate and sell bottles of the hand-selected wines. In the true spirit of IC hotels, this collaboration brings local offerings to guests and highlights what makes each hotel in the collection unique.
Wine Notes at Hotel Milo will occur every other Friday from 5 – 7 p.m., starting May 16, on the patio at Hotel Milo Santa Barbara. The event is complimentary, for more information visit http://www.hotelmilosantabarbara.com.
