It was held at the New York Marriott Marquis in New York.
The organizer listed wine lovers and collectors among attendees, and its 35-and-under ticket was aimed at young professionals and emerging connoisseurs.
It was most worthwhile for serious collectors and wine lovers who wanted to taste top-scoring wines and meet producers, since the program listed two Grand Tastings with 265+ wines rated 90+ points, 18 seminars and winemakers such as Angelo Gaja and Michel Chapoutier. At $2,695 for the weekend package it was a steep outlay for trade buyers wanting business sourcing; the lower-cost Under-35 admission on Friday evening suited emerging enthusiasts, though it covered only a short window.
Attendees at formal wine tastings in New York usually wear smart business attire or cocktail attire, with jackets common for men and comfortable dress shoes, as tastings involve long periods standing.
