This is NOT like the mediocre "NYC wine fests" I have been to. So many high quality selections! You can tell that Crush Wine Experiences knows the top producers importers. There are no subpar wines here!!

I learned so much and discovered many great new wines. I will forever look at buying and enjoying wine in a different way than before.

The VIP Lounge was excellent. They had the high end stuff in there. The sommeliers serving us were very knowledgeable. Cheeses and light bites were delicious.
