It was just OK. I had a much better experience with the sake fest/beer fest/whiskey taste.

The people at the other venues were much more knowledgeable with what they're pouring, I was expecting a tasting like "here's our lightest body red" to "here's our boldest bottle..." but instead, I got, "Which bottle would you like?" uhm, I dunno, you tell me! I dunno what the hell you're pouring!!

Honestly, I never waste alcohol, I drink every drop usually when I go tasting, but this time, I actually dumped some out because I just couldn't drink it. I guess there's a reason why some countries are better known for their wine then the others...

Probably won't do it again.

I enjoyed myself, but the wine really wasn't the best. It was interesting tasting wines from around the world, but even the wines from California were not up to par. The food that was served was much better than the wine.

The layout was good and the wine selection was diverse. The problem was the people pouring the wine had no idea what they were pouring, let alone anything about the wines. They were very friendly though.
