2003 Boston WIne Expo

[Innkeeper]

I tend to stay away from all major wine expositions such as Boston, ZAP, et al, because they remind me of Filiene's Basement. Same goes for major tasting rooms in peak season. I don't think it's wine snobery to stay away from places where people elbow you out of the way, and you have to fight for a taste of wine. Other behavior of people at these things just completely turns me off. This ranges from the toads that are hawking the stuff, to the know-it-alls that pontificate endlessly in such a load voice that you have to scream to correct them, etc.

End of pontificating.
