LONG BEACH, Calif., June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Long Beach Grand Cru, the country's only non-profit wine competition, benefiting Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles and its partnership with The Children's Clinic in Long Beach has selected Bob Gold & Associates as its official PR agency.

This year's 21^st anniversary celebration moves to a new location — the lush 87-acre South Coast Botanic Garden, with an evening of wine, food, one-of-a-kind silent auction and live music on Saturday, Aug. 8 from 6 pm – 9 pm at 26300 Crenshaw Blvd. in the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Since its establishment in 1995, the Long Beach Grand Cru has become one of Southern California's most popular wine and food tasting events featuring over 1,000 wines from more than 300 international & domestic wineries with unlimited pours, and tastings from 25 regional restaurants.

This year's Grand Cru will raise funds to benefit LAFLA's Greater Long Beach Community Medical Legal Partnership. In 2014, the public tasting attracted more than 1,200 attendees and helped raise more than $300,000 to support LAFLA's legal services for poor and low-income people in Long Beach. Since its inception in 1995, the Grand Cru has raised over $3.9 million to support LAFLA's services in the greater Long Beach/Harbor area and across metropolitan Los Angeles.

This year's competition will feature all styles of wine from domestic and international vineyards. Medals are awarded to winners in the following categories: Chairman's Best of Class, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Sweepstakes.

"The Grand Cru is the only event where oenophiles and wine enthusiasts can help the thousands of poor people who turn to LAFLA when they need legal assistance for a crisis that threatens their shelter, health and livelihood," said A. Mina Tran, Esq. Tran Law Group and Chair for the Long Beach Grand Cru. "We are thrilled to have the pro-bono assistance of the wonder public relations professionals at Bob Gold & Associates supporting our event," she added.
