In case anyone's missed it, Southern California's largest wine festival, with over 60 wineries, is coming to the Los Angeles area from October 5-8.

(God, I sound like an ad copywriter--which I have done, but I'm trying to quit.)

No, seriously. Last year's event was a lot of fun. And it's a great way to try hundreds of wines for less than $30.
