Favorite Wine: Family Reserve

I've been a member for almost 2 yrs. I've never experienced what ashesjo wrote above. The serving staff has always been friendly and the management staff great. I've always enjoyed a mid Saturday afternoon visit taste a few wines but look forward to buying a glass of wine and sitting on the deck under the oaks and just enjoying all the visitors to the winery. I'm looking forward to my next trip soon.

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Feb 17, 2010

On a weekend afternoon we stopped in at Pedernales. It was by far the worst experience of any winery we have ever been too. We were the only customers there. The lady behind the bar was rude and unfriendly. We were made to feel as if we were a complete inconvenience. We walked in, she put two glasses down and told us the price of a tasting. When we said we were doing the wine trail, she rolled her eyes, took the Pedernales glasses away, slammed down 2 generic glasses, and told us what we could choose. Her description of the vino blanco was "This is a white wine." She then walked to a back room to talk to someone. She made NO effort to describe the wines or tell us anything about the place. Even asking to get our passports stamped resulted in a big sigh and eye roll as if we were a huge bother and waste of her time. It was so uncomfortable, we drank our tastings and got out of there as fast as we could. Neither of us could believe someone in that position, on a high traffic weekend, could make people feel as uncomfortable as she made us.
