Well, I went.
It was a gathering of the 2001 version of yuppies gulping down BV, Gallo, Kendall Jackson and some Australian and South American wines. It was kinda fun to watch everyone (young and beautiful or at least trying hard) get toasted.
There were nibbles from the chef at Water Grill, Mako Tanaka (Mako), Raphael Lunetta (Jiraffe), and guys from Pace and Reign. The chefs demonstrated how to prepare their dishes onstage, but it was difficult to hear what the hell they were saying over the swelling din of tipsy moneyed young lawyers and stockbrokers. The nibbles were fairly delicious, especially Mako Tanaka's duck spring rolls, but tiny, so we ducked out and stopped by Astroburger on the way home to fill our bellies in a greasy, yet more satisfying way.
The organization is out to promote wine to Gen-X'ers, or to"educate" them. The guys who started Wine Brats all come from wineries in Northern California, though, so it seems like a marketing thing. I'm kinda flirting with sobriety at this point in my life, and this event only served to push me further in that direction.
