David Lynch, who passed away in January, is known for his fondness for smoking, wine, and the nightlife experiences that often permeate his cinematic universe. His works frequently explore themes of surrealism and mystery, creating an engaging experience for audiences. In 2006, Lynch collaborated with an Italian winery to develop a limited-edition cabernet sauvignon, reflecting his deep appreciation for fine wines.
Lynch’s affinity for Bordeaux wines, particularly Château Lynch-Bages, is well-documented.

Ensuring a blend of creative expression, social responsibility, and entertainment, the event promises to be a noteworthy addition to Las Vegas’ vibrant cultural landscape.
