Either Oar Wine, Whiskey, & Cheese Bar — Attraction in Town of Hector

I loved the wine at this winery but the service was terrible. We arrived at 4pm on a Friday. One staff member working. The bar was full for tastings and we were told we had to sit before we could have a drink so we waited for tastings. We sat at about 4:10 and didn’t get our first glass until 435. Mean while other people are checking out with bottles and getting glasses at the end of the bar even though we were told we had to sit to get a drink. Finally we start our tasting of 7 wines. She begins to tell us that she needs to be done by 5pm. I thought this was extremely rude considering we had to wait 20 minutes before our first drink. So at 4:50pm we still had 4 wines to try and had to chug those. I feel that if you were behind you should not have rushed people that were there for...

During my fingerlakes vacation recently, my friend and I stopped into Either Oar for a quick drink. She had been previously and surprisingly the manager TJ remembered her which was nice. It made us feel super welcome. My friend had been raving about this Sangria Cider she had. I think she said it was called Castaway??? (Dont quote me, I could be wrong.) While it technically wasnt on the featured menu TJ was more than happy to make one for us and it was absolutely delicious! im more of a whiskey or burbon girl personally, so TJ recommended the " Golden Lure" which was like a 20/10. So good! His ability to recommend things based on just a few questions of preference is wild to me! Definitely a great fit for this industry. Plus you cant beat the views here !!...

My group of 4 and I arrived for my birthday celebration at promptly 4:30pm. We had a busy day and this was the earliest we could arrive. I was SO excited for a tasting since I am infamous for loving penguins and wine, but we were refused a tasting and was only offered a single glass of wine for the same price as a tasting. Only my dad and I wanted to taste. This obviously did NOT help me choose what I wanted to buy. The staff was not friendly and quite snarky. Sadly, we left without a single bottle but went down the street for a much better experience. The other winery was closing in soon as well, but they gave us a tasting and even let us in to buy a bottle after they had closed. Don’t waste...
