Here's a
link to a festival food report I did a couple years ago. This post has all direct links to all the reviews I did that trip, some festival and others non-festival.
Keep in mind that was from the 2008 festival, prior to what they did last year with the optional Wine View Lounge area. (Premium area for an extra $75 with reserved seats and an open bar in addition to the normal wine tastings available to all guests.) My experience will be comparable to the non-premium way to do the Party.
Before you see my review, keep in mind that the experience I had that year was NOT typical. They were giving away comped tickets during Year of a Million Dreams, so the venue had more people than I had ever seen it hold in three prior Party for the Senses. So don't get worried when you see my comments about the crowds.
