Fleming's La Jolla Presents First Fridays Wine Tastings

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar  in La Jolla is kicking off First Fridays, monthly wine tastings that feature 20 wines from one of the world’s top grape-growing regions. As the bottles of each collection are opened, Fleming’s will open guests’ minds to the extraordinary qualities of great wine, with tasting tips from the wine manager.

First Fridays begin April 6 and continue until December (excluding September), with an end-of-year wine luncheon to commemorate the wines discovered on First Fridays during 2012.

On Friday, October 5th, guests will enjoy wines from Spain and Italy. From reds of Rioja and Tuscany to whites of Cava and Frascati, Spain and Italy produce a wide variety of wines for Fleming’s guests to discover.
