We have attended wine festivals in the past and we were happy that we could check bottles after purchasing and pick up at the end of the shows. We were disappointed that you had to have a three bottle purchase at each vender to have that option at this show. At some venders we may have wanted only one or two bottles but did not purchase because we did not want to carry the bottles around all day. Otherwise we had a very enjoyable experience and will attend future
events.
