Bipin Desai is a physicist, professor and fabled wine collector. For years he threw wonderful wine tastings at various Los Angeles restaurants. This series of menus is - as you can see - from the summer of 1989. The first was held at Michael's in Santa Monica. Michael's, which opened in 1979, was a game-changer: Michael's chefs were all young, educated and American (among the first to cook there were Ken Frank, Jonathan Waxman, Mark Peel and Nancy Silverton), and Michael proudly used American products.
