   I am thinking about buying tickets for the H-E-B Wine Walk at Market Street this year and wanted to see if anyone here has gone recently. I know it acts as the final event for the Wine and Food Week season, but I haven't been in a couple of years. How have the food and vendor setups been lately? It is nice that ticket sales go back into funding local arts initiatives and non-profits across Montgomery County, so I do not mind buying tickets if the overall flow and crowds are manageable.

   Ask me anything about villages. Seriously.

   My wife and I went two years ago and had a great time walking around Market Street. The setup was spread out enough that you could grab a bite and sample some wine without feeling totally crushed. I had to head back early to check on Buster and Barnaby because of the crowd noise near the green, but my wife stayed with her friends and loved all the food stations. If you go, just park in the garage early.

   I went last year with my wife after finishing up a job in Grogan's Mill. It gets packed around the center lawn, but vendor layout is decent. You get a good mix of craft beers along with the wine stations, which keeps guys like me happy while the wives check out the wine tastings. My advice is to get there right when it opens so you aren't waiting in long lines for the food plates.

   Measure twice, call Hector once.

   Thanks for the feedback. Hector, did you find the food line movement pretty quick early on? I am hoping to get a feel for how much time to budget before meeting clients later in the evening.

   Twiggy, if you get there right at the start, you can get through the main central ring in about an hour and a half. Here is what you need to know: 1. Vendor distribution is solid across the entire shopping area, not just packed near the stage. 2. The craft beer selection was surprisingly strong alongside the wine stations last season. 3. Parking in the south garage fills fast, so aim for the north garage or walk over from Town Center. Plus, knowing the ticket revenue stays local to support Montgomery County non-profits and arts makes the ticket cost easy to justify.

   Shop local, file on time.

   Just make sure you pace yourself and drink water between samples. Working the night shift in the ER at Memorial Hermann, we always see a few folks every year who forget how fast wine catches up to you in the heat while standing on concrete all evening. Wear comfortable shoes, hit the water stations regularly, and definitely use the garages rather than driving around looking for street spots.
