Last year the food was horrible. I'm hoping for much bigger things this year.

I really want to go early enough to chat with the vendors and take a proper look around without being rushed and crushed like previous years when we went Saturday night. I think we're going to go around 2 on Saturday afternoon.

a few of us will be going for sure...it's definitely a fun night and a good way for n00bs to be able to try a bunch of different wines and beers without having to buy an entire bottle/case.


The food was iffy last year, I agree...some bordered on fast food, but some was pretty tasty too. I remember the food being a lot better when I went many years ago for the first time to the wine + cheese show out by the airport.

nat's suggestion of friday during the day is defintely best...though it's not *too* ridiculous at night or on saturday. Just be prepared to lineup a bit.

on a side note...I found it cruisey as hell too, for all you single boys and girls out there

If I were in T-Dot, I would go.

They just have beer festivus in Colorado....

How many tickets does one need to spend to get cocktails and food?

If it's 5 tickets for a drink and 10 tickets for food then I can't imagine it being that good from a "value" standpoint.

From what I recall, tickets are a buck each and the average wine or beer sample is 3 or 4 tickets...more for high end drinks or vintages, of course. Food ranges...and you can usually pay with cash or tickets.

it's a value in the sense that you don't have to buy a bottle to try a wine...or even pay $6-10 per glass in a restaurant...but it's not a "cheap" event, you're right.

If you're a hearty drinker and want a bit of food, I'd expect to spend $40-60 for an evening, including entrance.

it's fun...well worth the $$$, IMHO.

if ne ones going this sat. i'll be wandering around when im done work, ( just look for the smuck in the MTCC Chef uniform)

I'm also gonna be on the look out for comp passes from the head office, if i can grab ne i'll let cha'll know, first come first serve.

Hmm... now I'm taking the value more seriously...

What's the size of a sample, for say, beer... I'm wishfully thinking
a sample is a pint...

I've always wanted to go to this!!!! I love food....and wine!!
