About Last Knife Happenings at The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood
Starting April 1. WINE AND JAZZ: A CLASSIC PAIRING…what do they have in common? Everything. Witness musical talent composing jazz with nuances and layers of sound and tones that don’t necessarily strike you right away but reveal themselves over time. Similarly, you don’t do shots of wine. You sip, you savor. If you’re paying attention (and drink the good stuff), you’re rewarded with layers of flavors as complex as a good jazz composition.
About Last Knife and The Godfrey Hotel present a memorable monthly experience where classically trained French chef Olivier Rousselle delivers an elevated fusion of haute cuisine paired with fine wines from across the globe and yes – LIVE JAZZ! Farm-to-Table Pre-Fixe Menu and Wines presented by Turquoise Life Wines Optional Wine Pairing At An Additional Fee.
