I did see an ad for it, but that's a lot of money to pay for a Pebble
Beach event that doesn't even include a round of golf.

I agree with Mark. And I only live about 40 or 50 miles from Pebble Beach.

I looked at this as well but I wanted 2 rounds of golf and with that
added price and having to stay at Pebble Beach to play decided it was
all too much.

It sounds like someone ought to have a talk with those folks. A round or
two of golf might make a difference in the success of the event.
After all, one does not live by wine alone.

Since I was interested, I did speak with them. It has more to do with
the Pebble Beach folks than the wine event folks. Apparently, Pebble
Beach has major stick up the butt syndrome. They think their courses are
shrines not to be traded for mere wine tasting convenience. At $375 to
play each course on top of the cost of a room at the inn, it becomes a
very major expenditure.
