Your lack of specific commentary, generalizing negativity, not to mention, grammatical, uhmm, imprecision, lead me to believe you were probably at a hallucinatory post-Binny's wine tasting hangover instead.

The food was more but that does not make a great wine and Food event.. other wise why not do another Taste of Chicago which this is basically is,, a noticable lack of quality wine as you pointed out.. paying $ 150 dollars to taste wine I get at Trader Joe's, the quality was a noticable and Illinois Restaurant Association ripped us off last year with no food and this year a lack of quality wine.. I went to a wine and food festival not a food and vodka festival..Two years in a row and two years in a row they strike out.. Illinois restaurant Association should stay with Taste of Chicago as this is it with a big price tag that I feel ripped off..What is the saying? Fool me once, shame on you.. twice shame on me!! Never AGAIN!! Two chances and two years of an embarrassment to Chicago for any wine enthusiasts or epicureans this is one event to pass up!Better to go to Binny's for better wine tasting Were you at the same event I was???
