In this report, Bryan — our Street Food expert — gives an advance look at what’s on deck for the LA Street Food Festival, taking place Saturday, July 21.  The line up of vendors includes some of your LA favorites and also a few trucks making their debut.  Read on for details!

Tickets are still available for tonight’s main event: The Ultimate Wine Festival at Shade Hotel. If you enjoy sampling the finest of wines – and contributing to a great cause at the same time – you’ll be perfectly satisfied.

In September, Fleming’s announceed the “Flemings 100” – 100 award-winning wines available by the glass – during special wine tasting events at each Fleming’s location.  The South Bay Foodies were on hand to sample some vino and check out the new small plates on the dinner menu too.

October is a great month for Southern California foodies. From LA to OC, every week has an event dedicated to food, wine, or beer. And then to top it off, the month ends with everyone high on sugar and decked out in costumes for Halloween. Yes, life is good.

South Bay wine snobs, beer freeks, and liquor enthusiasts can all start rejoicing.  Just a few weeks ago, Total Wine & More opened their newest big box liquor store in Redondo Beach.

Meritage wines and the foods they pair with will be the topic of discussion during “The Vintage Room”, a wine tasting dinner hosted by Saint Rocke and South Bay Events.

Giving might be hard, but partying is not…especially when you are partying for a cause!  Here are three events that will help you enjoy yourself and feel good about helping out at the same time.

National Drink Wine Day comes along every year on February 18.  I’ll be the first to admit that I groan at the idea of preconceived “holidays” – August 8 is National Zucchini Day?  Are you serious!? – but Wine Day is one that I’m all for celebrating.

Love it or hate it, the rain has come and gone.  The end result is a weekend full of clear skies and foodie events ripe for the picking.  Enjoy!

A challenge from Foodbuzz to put on a luxury dinner party gives Nicole and I the perfect opportunity to plan a fabulous event.  The main ingredients? Friends and Watermelon!

The first weekend of Fall is here and it feels like summer in Southern California.  Of course, I’m not complaining!
This weekend is jam packed with things going on around the South Bay and all over LA.  Read this sampling of events and try not triple-book yourself.

The American Wine & Food Festival takes over the entire Universal Studios Back Lot on Saturday, September 25.

As California Wine Month continues, I’m reflecting on some of my favorite places to go wine tasting, namely Temecula and Santa Ynez.

From Los Angeles, these wine growing regions are only two hours away and easy to fit into a day trip.

I’m all out of whack this week because summer is officially over — yeah. thanks, Labor Day! — but it feels like it never really got started. At the same time, fall traditions are taking place right on schedule. What’s a foodies to do? Here are a few events to consider while we figure that out!

Sutter Home Moscato is probably the most often consumed wine at my house. There’s almost always a bottle chilling somewhere!
