By 2 p.m. Saturday, the sold-out Sun WineFest '10 was so packed that it was almost impossible to move through the aisles, and navigating from wine booth to wine booth required plenty of patience. As the 5 p.m. conclusion of Saturday's Grand Tasting approached, there was still a large crowd of imbibers, as you can see in this photo.

Tickets for Sunday were not sold out as of that morning, so I expect the crowd was a bit lighter. If you're planning to attend a future Sun WineFest, you may find that Sunday is the better day to go, and you should definitely plan to arrive as early as possible to avoid the largest crowds. You may even want to taste from noon until 2 p.m., take a breather, and then return for the event's final hour or two in order to avoid the worst of the congestion.
