We've gone to 3 of these so far in the Orlando area and its a great event. Especially if you are unfamiliar with wines, this is the perfect way to find out what you like and learn a bit. There are a lot of snacks so you shouldn't get totally wasted or anything. Its hilarious watching how flush people's faces get as the night progresses!:biggrin: Just in case, it may be a good idea to bring a non drinker with you or plan on walking to a nearby store or something for a little while afterwards. Don't drink and drive!!!!
Tips: Arrive a little early, the parking lots fill up like crazy! Also, if you have an ABC card, keep an eye on your mailbox, you may get a coupon for free admission to the tastings. Ooh, and one more sneaky tip...save your glass from the event and you won't have to pay to get into any future ABC tastings! (we're not lushes or anything, just savvy consumers, :hiccup:!)
