Shhhh, be vewwy, vewwy quiet, it’s tasting event season! This Saturday, Torrance will mark the spot for “Evening Under the Stars,” a South Bay-based food and wine tasting with local restaurants including Ortega 120, Gonpachi, and Aimee’s Bistro, among the 28 participants, running from 6:00 to 9:30 P.M. on July 28, with funds from the $125 ticket benefiting Torrance Memorial Medical Center’s construction of a new pediatric patient tower. While there will be more than 80 wine varietals on site, the clear highlight of the evening is no doubt a performance by the one, the only, the head-bangingest rocker of all time, Kenny G., he of the curly locks seducing you with his smooth adult contemporary jazz (as heard on The Wave). See the full list of participants below (not that Kenny G. and his sax aren’t enough) and find tickets online.
