Worth the $100 bucks? Looks like a nice event.

Absolutely. I'll be there. It's regular guests too but mostly a bunch of service industry folks getting shite hammered on unlimited nice wine. Last year they had over 300 bottles to try. And they encourage you to drink everything they brought with them so they don't have to leave with it. It's not one of those events where they limit you.

The food was great too, I think. Don't really recall

We've been to most of them since they began. They used to be less than $50 a person and were a great value. Now they are up to $95.

Compared to NOWFE, the wines are comparable (probably slightly fewer), the crowds are smaller , but the food doesn't match up. Although, the last couple times we went down for NOWFE the quality of the food was lower; fewer top restaurant participate in the Grand tastings and the venues since they moved from the Convention Center are not as good.
