Tasting Room Fees

[winer]

Thanks for your comments. There were a couple of other points I should have mentioned:
- the wines available were MORE expensive by several dollars (the range was $14 - $23 Cdn)than similar varieties (Chardonnay, Reisling etc) made totally inhouse at other wineries in the area.
- the taster did not get to keep the glass
- I think the tasting fee WAS deducted from the price of a purchase, but I can't remember for sure.

What went through my mind at the time was that the wines were more expensive, the wine was made from juice purchased who knows where, and this was a brand new winery supposedly trying to build a business. Those were my reasons for walking out.
