Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center

Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center Join Elizabeth Schweitzer, Master Sommelier as she explains how alcohol in moderation is good for the heart.

Elizabeth is the eighth woman in the world to achieve the Master Sommelier title and the only Master Sommelier in Los Angeles County. She was voted Best Sommelier in California by the California Restaurant Write...rs Association.

When asked how she knows so much about wine she simply states, “I open a lot of books and a lot of bottles.” Her approach to wine is a mix of old-fashioned common sense and modern economics; “If you like the wine, then it is good wine. You should not have to pay a lot to enjoy a good glass of wine.”

The message she emphasizes is that wine not be taken too seriously but be included as an integral part of everyday life. Elizabeth brings unpretentious and contagious enthusiasm, passion, humor, and a vast array of knowledge to the hospitality & wine industry.

Wine tasting and appetizers $35. Please RSVP to 323-913-4583 or Zarmig.Bardakjian@HPMedCenter.com.
