Morton Estate wines have graced the menu at one of Hollywood's hottest parties - the pre-Oscars party hosted by the New Zealand Consul General in Los Angeles.
The party celebrated New Zealand's influence in the world of film and guests were treated to the finest Kiwi foods and wines.
Former supermodel Rachel Hunter and actor Temuera Morrison were among the stars rubbing shoulders over a drop of Morton Estate's White Label range. Guests sipped on Morton NV Brut sparkling wine, White Label Marlborough sauvignon blanc 06, White Label Hawke's Bay chardonnay 04 and White Label Hawke's Bay pinot 05.
The stars enjoyed a selection of New Zealand's finest produce and wines at the glitzy party at Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset Boulevard.
Among the high-profile guests from New Zealand were Cary Granat, guest speaker and CEO of production company Walden Media, Bob Berney of Picturehouse and James Cameron, who directed Terminator, Titanic, and more recently Avatar.
The evening is held every year to celebrate New Zealand's contributions to film making, including those nominated for academy awards and recent productions.
The films this year included Bridge to Terabithia, The Waterhorse, 30 Days of Night, Eagle vs Shark, Black Sheep, 1Out of the Blue and The Ferryman.
