LOS ANGELES, July 6 /PRNewswire/ --

What: AltaMed Health Services will host the Fourth Annual East LA Meets Napa celebration, featuring the diversity of Latin cuisine from Los Angeles area restaurants coupled with fine wine from Latino-owned or -operated Napa wineries. Attended by more than 1,000 wine and culinary enthusiasts, East LA Meets Napa speaks to the ongoing preference among aficionados to pair wine with Latin food instead of beer or margaritas. Attendees will also enjoy entertainment and wonderful conversation in one of Los Angeles' most historic venues - Union Station.
