WINE DOWN SUNDAYS AT THE GEFFEN

Every non-preview Sunday evening

Sounds from Jamie Cullum’s fifth CD, The Pursuit, enhances the mood Sunday evenings at the Geffen. Andy Morris from Music Week declares, “The Cole Porter cover at the start won't surprise you, but the house track at the end just might. Cullum's fifth album does justice to his musical influences. It’s bold, experimental and the best thing Cullum's done." Enjoy complimentary wines provided by Sterling Vineyards showcasing two labels from their Sterling Vitner’s Collection during the run of The Female of The Species on our main stage and Wrecks on our intimate Audrey Skirball Kenis stage.

Tasting notes:

"Sterling Vintner’s Collection wines highlight the signature character of the Central Coast with the same intense focus on varietal fruit flavor as wines from the rest of the portfolio." - Joe Kidd, Winemaker

"The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is a real crowd pleaser. The wine shows ripe, rich character and elegance of structure.  Blackberry fruit and ripe cherries leap from the glass, supported by toasty vanilla and cocoa. This is a wine for all occasions, pairing as well with herb-encrusted rack of lamb, as with a slice of pizza."

Refreshing and fruity, the 2007 Pinot Grigio is popular for its pure expression of peach, melon and kiwi character. Enticing honeysuckle, mineral and spice notes accent the delicate fruit aromas and crisp flavors. The winery has added twenty-percent Gewürztraminer for even more spiciness. Serve chilled, this wine makes a delightful complement to appetizers, salads, grilled fish and chicken or any lighter fare that tantalizes your tastebuds.

Please drink responsibly.

The Female of the Species: Mar. 14.

TALK BACK TUESDAYS

Every non-preview Tuesday evening

If you crave stimulating conversation after a play, our Tuesday night series is for you.

Pre-show tastings of coffee and tea are offered compliments of Peet’s Coffee & Tea. Post-show, Geffen artists come out on stage and take questions from the audience. It’s a good chance to dig deeper into plot, character and themes and go home completely energized.

The Female of the Species: March 9.
