Unfortuantely, the event was much as I feared way too crowded. It was a complete mixmash of foods and wines, none really complimenting one another. Highlights were the chocolates from Gary Danko (which me and the mrs. dined at the following evening- amazing scallop/truffel dish!) and a wine table from New Zealand pouring mostly sauv blancs and pinot's under $30. I'm an admitted fan from earlier posts of any sav blanc from Marlborough and this table did not disapoint. Also got a tast of the far niente '97 cab and the '97 dolce, neither of which impressed me too much- now the '95 dolce is a whole 'nother ballgame. Also enjoyed some of the louis jadot bottles that were being tasted, so I was obviously mistaken in stating that this was only a domestically focused event. As for wine and skiing, no way, I'm more of a hot chocolate guy- swiss miss in particular.
