Lee,
What were some of the highlights from the event? Any of the wines tasted which particularly impressed you? Which chef had the received the most accolades? Sorry to hear about the skiing concussion. I will be traveling out to Jackson Hole in two weeks, probably to do the same thing to myself. My mantra is small amounts of wine + skiing = good. Large amounts of wine + skiing = bad, perhaps very bad.

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.
