Full time music invited dancing but everyone was far too busy negotiating the lines at the booths, which seem to have mushroomed as the day wore on.  Fabulous tastes were available from the best restaurants in Santa Monica, and no one was willing to miss out on a wing from Hooters, with voluptous Hooter girls on hand to raise spirits.  Not to mention fantastic seafood choices from the likes of Ocean Avenue Seafood, Chez Jay, Bubba Gump and many other of 40 fine Santa Monica eateries.

The Taste is a yearly event of the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce, and cannot be beat for a day in the ocean breezes and lovely food samples.  VIP attendees tasted some of California and France’s fine wines. The nonprofit for this year is The Wellness Community.
