nice idea for a fund raiser and I wish them the best but I stopped going to this event and others like it years ago. The price is to low so what they serve is lame food and crap wine because they beg these vendors to give it away with no upside for the restaurants and wineries. So the better restaurants and wine distributors have backed out.
Suggestion; double the price, cut the crowds in half and serve quality.
vgs, I'd have to respectfully disagree, and wonder just how much has changed since you last attended this event. With tickets selling for $35 per person presale ($40 at the door), I don't think they were too cheap; and I'd say going much higher would discourage many people from buying tickets (myself included). The crowd was really not a problem. I was very impressed with the food (especially those mentioned above) and both my husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality as well as the quantity of food and drinks offered. Granted, some were better than others but all in all we were very happy with the experience. And, if everyone there had as good a time as we did, then in fact the vendors are getting something worthwhile out of it: great word of mouth and future customers.
Perhaps next year you might give it another shot.
