SoBeFest is selling fast

    The economic crisis isn’t bothering the wine swells. Tix went on sale at midnight Monday for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival that’s Feb. 19-22, 2009, and by 2 p.m. they had sold out the Rachel Ray Burger Bash, Joe’s Stone Crab’s Big Brunch, the Saturday Grand Tasting and the Grand Tasting Weekend Pass. More than $1 million in sales, says guru Lee Schrager.
     There’s some hope: On Jan. 1, 2009 they will put more tix on sale for the Grand Tasting, the Burger Bash and the BubbleQ (which is not yet sold out).
    I keep hearing people say they aren’t going because it’s too expensive. But I guess, as Yoga Berra is alleged to have said: “Nobody goes there any more because it’s too crowded.”
