A Taste of Newport (at Fashion Island in Newport Beach) runs this
weekend. Just got back. Fabulous-oh! A *lot* of great SoCal
restaurants were represented and the food was wunnerful, wunnerful!
Some amazing wines were on offer, too.

I believe I need a wee nap about now :-)

I had no notice of this event! I am shamed! Then again I did not attend a
similar event in Sandy Eggo. From your post you seem to have been sated for
a while. I hope your delightful husband was equally pleased....or did you
go as a wanton single female? More on the wine if you please; was any of it
local?

XXXOOO,
Charliam

No, no, Bill went with me. There was a fair showing of boutique beer,
so you know where he wound up.

Quite a bit was local-ish (meaning SoCal and Central Coast). One
outstanding chardonnay was from a central coast winery called
Baileyana Winery, cellar name is El Gordo. It was unbelievably buttery
and somewhat peachy. Delicious.
