Visited today with my friends and immediately felt like I needed to write this review.
4 girls. 1 DD. This was our third and final stop on our wine trail afternoon. We visited two other wineries, ate at both and dumped out a good 70% of the tastings. DD had maybe a sip of 5 total wines, never finished them and was very responsible telling the server to only give her just a tiny taste as she was the DD.
When we arrived, the owner was joking with us. He seemed totally cool. He went to stamp our friends book (the DD who also told the server to only give a very small amount at the tasting) and assumed we visited 9 wineries Today based on her check marks on the map. Except we had not. He did a transaction, after again joking with us, and got very serious. He told us we we intoxicated and needed to go eat
Not only was this said loud enough to be embarrassing but it was totally false. All of us are baffled still. Was it because we were loud? We are a bunch of girls from southern Ct.... we are always loud? Not really sure what else could have possibly indicated that we were drunk. I understand it is at the discretion of the owner but he went from totally fine to not in a milisecond. Would he not serve a bachelorette party with a bus? We left, very hurt and with a very sour taste in our mouths. We will not be returning, and we have notified the ct wine trail reps or our...
Read moreRecently visited Miranda vineyards and had my best visit yet! Connected with the owner and her staff and thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting experience! All of the wine is of high quality and what amazes me is that I have a slightly different experience every time, in terms of which wine I like best. Sometimes it's the Farmhouse, sometimes its the Woodridge Red,.. sometimes its the Cayuga, sometimes it's the Woodridge White. I taste different dimensions of the flavors every time I go. The Rose was especially good this time. It has a dry yet sweeter flavor than I expected and would really make a nice summer sipping wine.This time the Woodridge White was the big winner for me to, as I believe it tastes like sunshine in a bottle! Beautiful bright bold color and flavor, a tad tangy with a slight sweetness.. it's what I'd imagine sunshine would taste like! Also learned some great wine tasting tips from the staff about how long to leave wine out to breath and when it's not necessary. I am absolutely looking forward to...
Read moreVery disappointed in Miranda Vineyards. I purchased a Groupon for a tasting and chocolate pairing. After driving over an hour to get there the place was fairly packed. There appeared to be only one women working and she was washing glasses. After waiting about 20 minutes before even being acknowledged I was informed they would not honor the groupon as they ran out of chocolate. There was no offer of a substitution, or any attempt to accommodate us. Even after explaining we had driven over an hour, she shrugged her shoulders and said sorry! We went to Haight-Brown winery where we were greeted within seconds of walking in. We purchased 8 bottles of wine, shared a few and had a great time there as always! I’ve never had a bad experience at any of the wineries in CT. Extremely...
