"That girl was here at 11am sharp and was already kind of tipsy. And now she's falling down."

"Do you know her?"
"No." -- Exchange at the Foss Marai prosecco booth
"Well, my husband's kind of doughy, and they're a doughy couple, and that's just a lot of dough." -- Woman near the Bin 36 cheese and wine booth
"Tell me this one. Is this your sake?" -- Man at the SakeOne booth, immediately before dunking his entire glass into the spittoon
"I wish I had a purse." -- Man near entrance
"People are always asking me what wine goes best with Indian foods, and I'm like, why do you have to ask me that? What?" -- Alpana Singh
