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 :D |

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. |

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...:D |
