In honor of California Wine Month, American Express and over 40 L.A. restaurants will be presenting Wine & DineLA — special wine pairing menus from September 7 thru 21. Of course the lineup includes expensivo restaurants like Saddle Peak Lodge and Valentino, but there are also restaurants featuring menus for under $100 per person.

I give you the following examples (you can get dinner without the wine pairings, too, but below are just the prices with the wine):

Asia de Cuba — 3 courses for $90
Bistro 45 — 5 courses for $95
Cafe Pinot — 4 courses for $78
Chinois on Main — 4 courses for $90
Circa 55 — 3 courses for $65
Citrus at Social — 4 courses for $95
Ciudad — 3 courses for $75; 4 courses for $95
Ford’s Filling Station — 3 courses for $65
Jiraffe — 3 courses for $85
One Sunset — 3 courses for $70
Simon LA — 4 courses for $99
STK — 3 courses for $85
Whist — 3 courses for $89

Unfortunately, the catch is that this special menu is only available to card-carrying AMEX members and only when they use their AMEX card.

EVENT: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 thru SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21
