The recent heavy rains in Southern California did nothing to dampen spirits or dissuade guests from swarming into the five-diamond IslandHotel last Saturday night for the spectacular seventh-annual Pacific Coast Wine Festival (PCWF). The event sold out early, drawing a capacity crowd of more than 300 guests, allof whom were dressed to the nines—gentlemen sporting dapper suits and ladies swathed in elegant cocktail dresses and wraps—highlighted by the ambient gold lighting throughout the hotel. The excitement permeating the air was as palpable as the aromatic wines as the evening got underway, beginning with a vast array of wine tasting opportunities and an enticing silent auction. A delectable wine-paired dinner followed, enlivened by a wildly energetic live auction of rare wines and unforgettable travel experiences.

Taste the tannins and inhale the complex aromas of Pacific Coast Wine Festival (PCWF), a magnificent evening stocked with flavorful wine tasting, a delectable wine-paired dinner, and silent and live auctions of rare wines and unforgettable travel experiences. Bursting onto the wine scene in Orange County seven years ago, PCWF has cultivated a reputation as one of the most esteemed wine auctions in California, as well as a significant fund-raising event for Pacific Symphony. Last year, this spectacular night of wine and more raised $220,000 for the Symphony's artistic and education programs, and the festival continues to raise the standard of excellence each year. This year's event is again co-chaired by PCWF's co-founders, Michael Kerr, Fred Salter and Valerie Van de Zilver.

Before the finale of Tuesday night's Café Carlyle show celebrating the varied compositions of Frank Wildhorn, the Grammy and Tony Award-winning composer quoted his frequent collaborator, lyricist Jack Murphy, as once offering that “Great singers are a songwriter's best friends.” Even though Murphy's thought is hardly original, no words could be more true after listening to the scintillating songstress Jane Monheit and the performing powerhouse Clint Holmes deliver 16 solid songs that but wouldn't exactly be called classic examples of what passes for the late 20th century Great American Songbook.

Frank Wildhorn with Jane Monheit & Clint Holmes continues 'At the Piano in Song and Story', featuring Wildhorn's pop, jazz, and theatre songbook at Cafe Carlyle, through February 1st, 2014. Check out phtos from the concert below!
