What about the $210 bottle of Cognac that the presenter said you can get for about $130.I would like to see a dessert wine bar ... they got a little closer this year with the champagne and dessert booth, but I want to see more drink variety because I don't think the champagne pairs especially well with dessert. Give us some port ... both a ruby and a tawny ... some ice wine ... some Frozin ... and something like Allegro Moscato ... and then I'd be a happy girl!
I also think they should have a stand that sells coffees and tea from around the world ... with alcoholic options, of course.
They should beef up the cheese classes or dump them altogether - We've never attended one even though we adore artisan cheese because I've seen too many reviews showing really stingy cheese portions. Do you know how much artisan cheese I could buy today for $75 (times 2!)??? Holy Mother of Cheese Cloth ... we'd be eating pounds of French and Italian cheese for months!
The beer options have been discussed plenty and I agree most of the suggestions, but I have to say that the $28 build-a-six pack was the second most hilarious thing we saw at the Festival Center. The first being a $90 bottle of Macallan single malt scotch that we can buy at home for $50. For thirty dollars those six beers better blow the top right off of my head! That money would be better spent in the ditch!
I think someone said something to him because I noticed they stopped quoting prices after that.
For example the Vodka presenter would only say it is a few dollars more than other Vodkas no matter how many times you asked her for a price range.
The wines and champagnes in the marketplace were also ridiculous, it makes the mini bar at the Dolphin look like a bargain.
As for the $28 build-a-six pack, I laughed every time I saw it.
I can't see buying it unless it was cold and you could drink it in the park
