Central Coast wines and great tastes of L.A. at Wally's

There's still time to make plans for Wally's 5th Annual Central Coast Wine & Food Celebration, one of the best wine/tasting events of the year. It's not huge like some overwhelming tasting fairs, but it gets the best restaurants including Spago, Lucques, the Hungry Cat, Comme Ca and Pizzeria Mozza, not to mention amazing wine from Sea Smoke, Tantara and dozens of other Central Coast wineries. It benefits the Michael Bonaccorsi Scholarship Fund at UC Davis School of Viticulture and Enology, so that more winemakers can hone their craft. Wear a hat and sunscreen, and bring a designated driver if possible. And last time I went they auctioned actual puppies, too, just in case you need one. It's $110 if you buy tix online or $150 at the door --

Sunday, August 3
12 noon - 4 p.m., Wally's Wine, Westwood
