| Re:Miami International Wine Fair: September 8-10, 2007 I enjoyed it. Was my first time going. Went to the Grand Tasting event. And I got to try a lot of different wines & champagne. My only gripe is that they had a list of participating restaurants, but when we got there on Saturday, there were only maybe 2-3 restaurant booths actually open and serving food. And, of course, those lines were long. The rest were empty with the name placard up stating what restaurant would be stationed there. Perhaps they all were going to be there on different days? I know, I know, its a wine fair. But I need to be munching on something in between so I can last longer with the wine. I'm a lightweight. Luckily, there were cheese & crackers at a few of the booths, so that helped me out. All in all, I'm glad I went and checked this out. But honestly, for me personally, I don't know if its worth the $65 ticket price to go again.

| Re:Miami International Wine Fair: September 8-10, 2007 I had a good time because its always about the people you are with but this year definitely lacked compared to last year. I felt as even though the space was bigger and there were more tables in general, there were less tables with wine. Also none of the restaurants being there really sucked, wasn't cool at all. I don't think I will be repeating this next year either.
