TOTNLA Auction Items, Lambrusco Day, Villetta Does Lunch

CULVER CITY— With Taste of the Nation LA happening this upcoming Sunday, organizers are tempting those who have yet to purchase tickets with a few featured auction items. Attend the event to bid on items like a wedding at The Victorian where location, rentals, ceremony, and even a wedding coordinator will help "plan the wedding of your dreams" (food, beverage, and floral arrangements are not included); dinner for 8 people by Wolvesmouth Chef Craig Thornton and Chef Eric Greenspan to be held at the Wolvesden; or an Omakase-style dinner for 8 at ink. including beverage pairings, tax and tip. Fun times. [EaterWire]

LA BREA— Cube will be participating in the first-ever International Lambrusco Day, taking place on Tuesday, June 21. That day they will offer discounts on two Lambruscos and that evening expect chef recommendations on what to eat with the slightly sparkly and refreshing Italian red. [EaterWire]

BRENTWOOD— Newly opened Villetta now serves lunch during the week, from 11:30 AM to 2 PM. Which begs two questions: how is FarmShop doing for lunch during the week and when will the beloved Chez Mimi resurface? [EaterWire]
