I headed down to The Taste Of London 2014 with my friend and fellow wine enthusiast (can I say 'overenthusiast'?) Tim (he writes for Vinspire 'n stuff!). The 'regular' version of the Taste Of London festival usually takes place at Regent's Park - whereas the winter version takes place in the lovely Tobacco Dock in Wapping. It's basically a food and drink festival which focuses on London's (almost limitless) restaurant scene. So think the chance to experience tasting dishes from about a thousand restaurants in rapid succession (well, if you've got the crowns to do it - the Taste festival's fiat currency). There's also masterclasses, demos, music, the chance to buy stuff at a discount, etc etc. It's a LOT of stuff in one placidly need to set aside many hours to see it all.
Tim & I managed to get a fair amount of food in but got hugely waylaid by a bunch of wine tastings (I suppose this is only to be expected). We only left when they closed up ('ejected' is perhaps too strong a word) but I count the whole thing as a great success because I got my first taste of gewürztraminer with the Antipodean Sommelier (who look like one to watch). We also met the guy from Ceviche/Andina, Martin Allen Morales, who was a real nice guy. I was gonna go and try see Cyrus & Pervin Todiwala as well but this plan 't pan didn't pan out :v
