Anyone else doing any of the activities for the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience?

I'm doing the grand tasting on Saturday. I've done this event 6 times now and am always impressed. Have never tried any of the others though. I would love to do the Royal Street Stroll, but you never want to buy a ticket for $100 and find out the weather will be crap.

I did a wine dinner at Ruth's last night. Overpriced of course, but still good.

I love the grand tasting, but haven't done it in a while.

The wine dinners always look good, but they seem over priced most of the time like you said.

I've never done one, do they have a certain winery that serves only their line of varietals? If so do they have a wine rep their to explain what you are drinking?

Yes and yes.
I guess it really wasn't bad value overall considering that they gave us 2 or 3 pours of each wine that they were serving as we needed it.

I've been a few years in a row with the wife. We have a good time. We will be there Saturday again.

What are my chances of finding tickets outside the convention center Saturday for the Grand Tasting?

I don't think it will be hard to find 2 outside the day of. Years past they sold them at the door but I'm not sure about this year.

I'm glad they have it but I don't give a rat's arse about busting my arse to attend any of it. Too many people, too hot, too . . . too . . . too...

the grand tasting inside the convention center was great the year i went. not overly packed, easy to get food and wine fast. went hungry, left stuffed and drunk.
