Of all the Food and Wine Festivals I’ve attended, Los Angeles Times, The Taste, by far is my absolute favorite! It was so well-organized with water stations everywhere. The staffs working onsite kept the venue so clean and pleasant. The lines were never too long, so we got to try pretty much everything. I missed it in the last couple of years and I am so looking forward to attend it, again, this year! It is a party for 2 1/2 days of unbelievable food, wines, cooking demos and great spirits!
