Wine and Cheese Night Stinks Up The Huntley Hotel

Where: 1111 2nd St. [map], Santa Monica, CA, United States, 90403

Just when you thought that wine and cheese hours at boutique hotels were kind of lacking, the hip beach-chic Huntley Hotel and its Penthouse restaurant have announced a new monthly wine and cheese tasting night with famed L.A. maître fromager Andrew Steiner starting Tuesday, April 7.

Steiner is known for his rollicking regular events at his eponymous cheese shop on Montana Avenue (where the sign above the door says, "This place stinks!"), especially the oft sold-out “beer and cheese nights,” and the tasting does cost just $40. The debut event will feature champagne and other sparkling wines paired with the newest selections from Steiner’s shop.

If you can’t make it that day, stop by The Penthouse for its new Sunset Hour happy hour Monday-Friday from 4:00-7:00pm. The special new menu is filled with appetizers like short rib tacos and crispy rock shrimp for $7 each, while beers will set you back $5 and glasses of wine $8. Sure beats the usual $15 or so they charge you for cocktails…
