A friend just forwarded me this information. Based on the list of distributors and the wines they're pouring, I'd say it's a middle-of-the-road event, but the price isn't bad at all. Mohegan Sun is actually a pretty decent casino. Certainly a far cry from Vegas, but only about a 2 hour drive from NYC and Boston.

Mohegan Sun Wine Tasting

We're going on Saturday for the tasting. The dinners are not worth the $$$. They are more of a "rub elbows with a celebrity chef" dinner as opposed to a wine dinner. I don't need to spend that kind of coin unless I am getting stellar wines. We went to the tasting last year, and you are correct. Very middle of the road, but as repeat customers, we only paid $40 for our tickets. Not expecting to walk away with any new "finds", but it's not a bad way to spend a winter Saturday afternoon. If you go, get there early. It becomes a mob scene. And BYO Stem. The tasting glasses were atrocious.

Anybody interested in the Sunday tasting? I love to gamble and might talk the long-suffering wife into the 3 hour drive.

I could probably be convinced...
