Default Buying Tomatoes that have good taste?

I was visiting my daughter last winter in south Florida and noticed a
field of tomatoes with a big sign inviting me to pick my own. These
were big beautiful looking ripe tomatoes. As soon as I got back to the
house, I wanted to make a tomato sandwich. I sliced the tomatoes and
piled them on the sandwich and took a bite. NO TASTE. They had no
flavor or taste They were pretty to the eyes but had no taste! Later,
someone told me that the Florida department of agriculture had
developed hybrid tomato seeds to grow perfect looking tomatoes but
they have no flavor.

Does anybody have a fail safe method of selecting tasty tomatoes at
the supermarket?
