Learn to pair wines with food at UCLA

UCLA has a great extension program - classes that are offered to the general public that go from Accounting to...Wine Pairing. The Spring quarter of UCLA Extension is offering a six-session class that is taught by wine connoisseur C. Scott Hindel and chef Octavio Becerra of Pinot Bistro. The final class is putting the lessons to use, dining out at "a fine dining restaurant," as the course description says (though my guess is that it would be Pinot Bistro).

The course is $585 (ouch) and meets from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. every Thursdays from April 20 through May 25 near the Westwood campus. If nothing else, you can take the class and call yourself a Bruin next year when UCLA wins the NCAA championship.
