CM Food & Wine discount shopping

[Gorjus]

I know that they sell the wine and beer from the festival at a discount to CM right after the fest is over. I just don't know what day it is and where it is this year. I assume the Wonders of Life. I semi recall last year that executives get to purchase the day after the fest (tomorrow, Monday) and the CM get to purchase on Tuesday. Is that correct? Anyone have any info?

Tuesday from 9-7 at Wonders.

Will they be selling the excess merchandise at a discount as well, or just the beer/wine. I could probably pick up a few Christmas gifts if they are unloading the merch.

Yep, merch too. I usually pick up a copy of the year's cook book.

Corrus must be a wine scalper. If not that, then he is one hell of a "connoisseur." :animwink::lol:

I was there right after 9 this morning and it was already packed. CMs sure do love their discounted booze.


I picked up a cookbook and a boomerang, then proceeded to get somewhat lost backstage. It wasn't too easy finding a way back onstage as I exited Wonders a completely different way then I entered it.

Last year, I did the first thing in the morning routine and yes, it was packed. This year I waited till around noon. No crowds, plenty of wine. I bought a case of various wines. Since there wasn't anything that knocked my socks off this year, I felt ok with selection available. However, CRAP! I forgot about buying the cookbook. Darn it. Oh well. There weren't any NEW foods that knocked my socks off either.

You know what the best part of it is. They treated you like an honored guest. You buy wine. It is too heavy to carry out to your car. They carry it from the register to a golf cart/van. They drive it to your car. They put it in your car. They tell you to have a magical day. NICE!!!
