A Dog Day Afternoon: Drinking Wine for Our Four-Legged Friends
Hang out with your dogs and drink wine with your dawgs. / Photo of Love by puck90 via LAist's flickr pool.
Los Angelenos love their dogs. And even more love wine. Much Love Animal Rescue has teamed up with LearnAboutWine to bring both together for a good cause. Tomorrow the “Much Love for Dogs & Wine” event will take place at The Lofty Dog’s indoor dog park in downtown LA from 2-5 pm.
Guests will have the chance to sample wares from about 20 wineries and local restaurants while raising money for Much Love’s homeless pet placement program. Participating restaurants include Wurstkuche, Cafe Metropol, Bordello Wine Bar and Pitfire Pizza Company. The extensive wine is too long to list, but check it out here. There’s a silent auction too, with great gifts ready for the bidding.
Friendly dogs (with proof of vaccines) are welcome to accompany their owners to the event. There’s a 12,000 square-foot dog run with sections for small, medium and large dogs. If you’re dog-less, but are thinking about adopting, then come and check out a few of their dogs available for adoption.
Who knows what’ll happen after a few tastings? You might walk out with a new bff. Tickets are $49 in advance and $60 at the door.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
