Cellardoor Winery Portland — Attraction in Portland

The sparkling rose was very good. I did not feel welcomed when I arrived. I felt like I was trying to enter a private club of which I was not a member. Hours are not posted on the door. I made it clear that I would try a rosé and then a red. I wish the server had mentioned the short window I had to have both glasses of wine because when I tried to order the red wine she said she was “closing in five minutes.” She told me this as she was helping two other patrons who were clearly looking at a menu. Having worked in two of Portland's best restaurants for over 10 years, I was surprised.
