wine expo shopping?

[corkd]

new to wine expos here and the boston one is coming up. i've looked at their website but cannot figure out -- would be possible/convenient to buy a few cases there or get them delivered? thanks!

You can not buy at the Wine Expo it is more of a trade show to taste wines not a buying event.

ok, thanks. that explains why i couldn't find that information.

There have also been a few nice threads on attending this sort of event, that have been posted here, over the last six months. Try a "search this board," and try "expo," "event" and "tasting." Follow along these for some good advice. One should plan ahead, to get the most from an expo.

Usually, these will have distributors and wineries (plus maybe a few restaurants, etc.), but there might be a retailer, or two. Seek them out, and see if they are offering any "specials," associated with the event. You'll most likely have to go to their brick and mortar location, but might save some $, if you have your ticket, etc.

Most of all, pace yourself, plan you attack, and enjoy.
