You are given a wine glass at the start and a wrist band tied to a credit card, you can purchase the very limited variety of food with the wrist band, you are given 10$ to start, anything over that gets charged to the card, two meatballs(about the size of golf balls) cost 8$. There were a lot of wine, cider and hard liquors to try, you get a punch card that limits how many things you try(both a good and bad thing), keeps people from over-imbibing but adults should know their limits and by giving punch cards it feels like they are cheaping out. Andrew Zimmern was the only one i knew by name, it was bites of cold food served to the audience(we tried steak with chimichurri and a fried bite with shrimp and sweet potatoes), supposed to be served hot. We came for the food and wine fest, we paid 50$ each for the tickets, there was a few bites of food available for free if you got into the audience for the chefs. The casino is really nice, decent restaurants.
