And you thought Wine & Food
were the only things at Festivals!
Lots of great musical acts are at wine festivals ...

| Central Coast band One Time Spaceman entertained with their Rock, Blues, and Americana style music at the 31st Annual Paso Robles Wine Festival, 2013. |

| The Shoemaker Brothers provided some great music and played a wide range of material at the 6th Annual Ventura County Wine Trail Celebration, 2013. |
Maybe some Taste N Trip blog readers missed the music videos I recorded at wine festivals over the last few years. So I thought I'd re-post a few that I shot with my video camera in my right hand and a wine glass in my left hand while walking backwards. It takes a certain wine-cam coordination to do this right, and although these aren't professional quality videos I never spilled any wine!
