SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- A multi-year recipient of Wine Spectator's Restaurant Wine List Awards, One Pico restaurant at Shutters on the Beach invites diners to embrace their inner-oenophile with a new food and wine program, "Love the Grape." With an already impressive and accessible wine menu by Master Sommelier Peter Neptune, One Pico has implemented this wine-centric menu pairing as a way to playfully introduce its guests to a plethora of seasonal varietals, without the pretension that overwhelm many an enthusiast. Each month's menu will feature a different celebrated grape with a three-course dinner best showcasing the flavor of that month's varietal.

"We are always trying to encourage our guests to sample wines that were previously unfamiliar to them.  This allows patrons of One Pico to experiment with a newly discovered varietal, vintage or producer and expand their palate in a really fun way," said Shutters General Manager Gregory Day.  "Peter Neptune and I always wanted to bring a list to life that was exciting, affordable and eclectic—I think this really is the one.  Love the Grape is just a playful extension of the wine program."

The additional "Love the Grape" menu is offered Tuesday through Sunday and includes a seasonally appropriate three-course dinner with either three ounces of wine per course for $50 or six ounces of wine per course for $65.
