Takeway is enjoy the experience and do't muddy w/ w too much to drink or pretending you know too much. I cannot stand those people . If the tasting room staff is doing their job they will make you feel comfortable regardless of your knowledge level.</p> Well done.

Tasting room staff have to deal with both experts and newbies, so if there's something that you're curious about or don't understand, ask. It's no use wondering your whole life if semillon is a white or red grape. </p> <p>This is an awesome list, Steve. Very common-sense stuff.

One thing I hear from the tasting rooms is if your throwing around that your industry and your looking for tasting fees to be waived, you need to be respectful and pick up a bottle, even if it's their entry level price point</p> This is a great article.

I would add one more thing from a winery perspective. If you do have a negative tasting experience, please tell the tasting room manager or owner. It can be on the same day as the tasting or after in an email or phone call. It gives the winery a chance to make it right. I personally want to know if a guest has had a poor experience, hear their story so I can rectify it for them and make sure it doesn't happen again. It's really easy these days to run to Yelp or Trip Advisor or other platform and voice your concerns but the only place that action can/could be taken to remedy the problem is with the winery itself. I think any business shows its true colors not when a problem occurs but in how they handle it after the fact. Tasting rooms are in the business of both wine and hospitality and ultimately, we want all guests to have a positive experience.</p> Wonderful etiquette list Steve.

(1) you can win a silent auction without being a douchebag, (2) the transportation part is good, and (3) Champagne (even sparkling from elsewhere) >>>> Coors Light. So, at least they don't stock the rides in those packages with domestic beer.</p> Well… (1) you can win a silent auction without being a douchebag, (2) the transportation part is good, and (3) Champagne (even sparkling from elsewhere) >>>> Coors Light.

I'm just sayin'! Great post though.</p> Where do all the silent auction packages fit in offering tasting for four, transportation to and from the valley AND that transportation stocked with and endless supply of champagne?
