Free Dog Wines — Attraction in Idaho

Hi, I am a 34-year-old Hispanic woman who has lived in Idaho all my life, Sunny Slope being my first home. I stopped at Free Dog Winery yesterday afternoon, 10/29/23, and was told if we were dining in for the four complementary wine tastings; we said sure (4 Hispanic women)—the lady who was wearing black eyeliner with a hair bandana seated us in the back. There was a lot of open seating. We were the second group in the winery, including two other white females who were not in our group. We sat down and were given four tokens each to use for the tastings. The servers were pleasant and polite; however, we had to get up to get the tastings. No one was serving anyone (I still don't understand the tip thing when it comes to these kinds of things). Anyways, it was time for us to leave, and we started to gather our items; this was when the lady in her late 60s with the black eyeliner and bandana approached us and told us, "ok, now it's time to thank your servers" I stated we don't have any cash and no one served us technically, but the lady wasn't understanding, we again stated we only have a credit/ debit card and we asked if they take card, she proceeded to say " no we do not" we found that odd due to buying previous times and using card only (who carries cash nowadays). We said next time, we know, and we will bring some money, and we proceeded to walk towards the door to leave; she followed us to the door, then once we were already in the car, she ran out of the winery to our vehicle while it was in reverse and yelled at us about coming and not tipping nor buying anything, we said we have credit/debit card we can pay with. Still, she said no, we don't accept cards; her approach was rude and racist because when she was at the window, she stated, "You people just come and never pay." we looked at her and said, excuse me, those were complementary. She spoke to us as if we had committed a crime and accused us of drinking large amounts of wine when the pours are just to taste and they are measured. Then she dared to ask if we work/have jobs; we said yes, we all have jobs, and all of us have degrees (from masters to Ph. D.s), but she didn't seem to care that we had jobs, just that we were "those people" it was apparent we were Hispanic we spoke Spanish in the winery because we can, I found the whole ordeal rude, disrespectful, and racists. They have lost several customers due to this behavior. My profession is behavior, and she needs help; I hope she can find someone or classes that can help with her anger. Maybe she was having a bad, I don't know, but her reaction and approach were uncalled for, and I hope this doesn't happen to...

We were really excited to visit Fujishin... we had a group of 9 girls to come for a birthday party. We were there for maybe 10 minutes when the bartender, Drake told me that he is going to cut us off from tasting. We were there to taste the wines and and we each had maybe two different wines before the bartender told us that we were not allowed to have any more. This was our last stop in our tour and we are very dissapointed in the service that we received. I’m sure the wine was amazing but I wouldn’t be able to give a good review based on...

Been here 3 or 4 times now and just not that impressed. The wine is decent, but there is absolutely no view, it is a dark, barn with no windows. The lady that has helped me the last couple times doesn't seem very friendly, like she is annoyed to be there. Unlike Sawtooth or Ste Chapple where the employees seem very friendly talkative and smiling. About the only thing that keeps me coming back is they are one of two wineries in the area that stay open till 6 PM when the rest close at 5. If it were not for that I wouldn't even consider...
