    Oh... my... god. We're driving across Michigan, I'm thinking about my new wine obsession, and…read moresuddenly the wine gods smile on us and I spot a sign for this festival that was going to be riiight on the way. YES We actually only made it the free wine tastings at the two wineries in town--St Julian's and Warner's. HIGHLY recommend St. Julian's. Yes, it's totally held in big stuffy tent in the gravel lot behind their building. Enter the tent, however, and you are basically in wine tasting heaven. They pretty much brought out every single one of their wines for the occasion. There were at least nine different stations, each featuring 4-8 wines, with laminated sheets displaying the tasting notes. There were also tasting sheets and pencils for writing notes. For a wine beginner like me, this was an amazing way to learn about a whole lot of different varietals all at once, and I loved a lot of what I tasted. The place was set up in such a way that there was absolutely no pressure to buy--in fact, sales were handled in a separate tent. Also, they were doing a 20% off sale on all bottles, rendering them cheaper than Binny's! Crazy deal on their already affordably-priced wine. After all this, Warner's was kind of a let down. The place was near empty when we arrived and it was a bit awkward with the wine attendants waiting as we tasted maybe three samples. We weren't too impressed by our selections, so we left pretty soon afterwards. The grounds were very nice though, with the river running through it. Bottom line, just go to Julian's. You will get sticky drinking many sips of wine out of tiny plastic cups and you will be happy.

    Let's just start with the greatest part of the festival, the Spasmastics (sp?) playing at St…read moreJulians. They did an amazing show. They kept the crowd dancing and laughing, it was amazing. The four gents from Chicago were so incredible to do a meet and greet after the show. It was truly the best part of the event. I enjoyed the car show very much. There were some very beautiful cars on display up and down the main street. With the two good things listed Iust say that I have gone to this festival in Paw Paw a few times now and the trend is not promising. Due to new rules by the government they must use tickets to monitor the consumption of alcohol at the tastings. Understandable, but what did this mean for 2017? Five tickets for 1 ounce samples given out for a $5 cover charge. Most wine bottles are 750mL or 25.4 ounces... No wonder the wineries are excited for the festival, to sell 1 ounce samples to the public for twice the cost per ounce over them buying the bottle from a store. The cider tasting at St Julians was the best racketeering scheme of them all, same 1 ounce sample for a $1 ticket of a $3.99 bottle of cider... I would love a festival that got people to play 450% over shelf price of my product. Got to try 5 flavors out of the greater than 40 options they had on site. The carnival quality was just kind of sad. The only thing that looked halfway kept up was the food booths, which is likely only a byproduct of health code requirements. We attempted to enjoy a carnival ride twice and both times the worker was going on break. I understand work breaks, especially for someone working the Gravitron, but his attitude was completely uncalled for when we asked the simple question of how long would he be on break. It is a straight forward question that should have been answered without needing to be asked by the people standing in line to get on. Jobs have schedules, letting people know what the break schedule is would help them not waste 5 minutes in line when a "15 minute" (20 actual minute) break is coming. To wrap it all up, the police presence at the festival was just staggering. Hundreds of officers from departments all over were swarming around the festival. You could not go 20 feet without seeing another Law Enforcement Officer. The barcode scanners at the event that gather name and address of all attendees... If crime was not zero then I am concerned as to why not. In the course of walking from the carnival the sugar bear downtown, I personally counted 6 marked LEO cars and 23 officers on foot. That was even using the back trail by the river to get away from the crowds and having to walk on the roads.

I think it was $17 per ticket and you just check in at the podium near the bar when you arrive. They explained they system to us - give them a credit card to start a tab, then you can write your drink/food order on a paper and they'll come around throughout the show to grab your paper. Then they cash you out at your table right after the show. It was a quick and efficient system! They have canned beverage (alcohol and N/A) and some snacks - we enjoyed the Pop Corners and "Taste of Italy," which is a small plate of pizza rolls and mozzarella sticks. The show itself was SO funny! They did several fun skits, many of which involved audience suggestions. There were only a couple that didn't make me laugh as hard, but I was cracking up most of the show. It's incredible how the cast members can come up with things on the spot like that. One note, if you're a couple or group smaller than six people, you'll likely be seated at a table with others. We had fun chatting with our table mates but it would be a great group outing. I'm so glad we finally went back to The Comedy Project and am looking forward to seeing more shows! We went to the 7 pm show and they told us if we wanted to stay for the 9 pm show, you can get tickets for half off.

    Great show, very funny. Good time and drinks were reasonable. If u want a laugh this will not…read moredisappoint you.
