Taste of the Wasatch draws crowd, but questions about its broken promises to charities leave ‘bad taste’ in mouths of some attendees

Solitude • For more than a decade, Dewey Yeargin has come to Utah from Greenwood, S.C., and attended the Taste of the Wasatch, an annual event of wine tasting, beer drinking and food sampling from dozens of elite chefs.

He liked his first experiences so much, the event is now central to his annual trips to Utah. He and his wife, Despina, started bringing their friends and, on Sunday, they all sat in the shade of a tent, while hundreds of attendees ate and drank in the sun at Solitude Mountain Resort.

“It’s for a good cause,” Despina Yeargin said.
