Y Knot Winery — Restaurant in Glenns Ferry

Very disappointed, will not be going back. We were doing a wine trip over Mothers’ Day weekend stopped here for the Passion Peach Sangria. About two weeks later, the bottles started popping their corks, a mistake usually faced by home brewers not wineries. I sent an email to the Crossings describing what happened and wondering what their thoughts were, I did not get a reply. After a few days, the bottle we had given a friend popped its cork, the called us late at night as they were mopping up the mess in their dining room (Sangria is very sweet and sticky). This prompted me to again try and contact the Crossings, this is the email sent on the 22nd of May… o To Whom It May Concern, Update: I was not planning on contacting you again until Tuesday (if I had not heard from you) however, we were contacted by one of our family friends whom we had given a bottle of the Sangria to. We were under the impression they had already enjoyed the gift but as it turns out they were saving it for a special occasion. Well not anymore. Their bottle popped its cork last evening, as of 10:00 pm they were mopping up the contents. That makes ten of twelve bottles popping their corks. The main reason I am sending you this update is to caution you if you have large amounts of this batch of Sangria on hand. I have to admit the thought of dozens of bottles popping their corks randomly all over your winery was at first funny and brought a smile to my face however, that quickly changed. As an adult, I understand that corks bouncing around, spilled Sangria, and lost revenue for your business is no laughing matter. Again, I would urge caution and concern and recommend that you locate and isolate the batch. And prepare yourselves for other communications from other individuals. Again, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this… Richard

And this was the reply from Douglas Jones, Owner/General Manager.

Richard, Thank You. Can you tell me when and where it was bought and the storage conditions it was stored in. This information would help up greatly. Douglas Jones

My response on the 23rd.

Douglas, I see you are responding to my second email, did you get my first? The Case of Peach Sangria was purchased at the Crossings Winery, May 6th, at about 5:00 pm (we posted a photo on Facebook). We actually had them stored in three different ways, some were in the wine cooler horizontal, some were in the wine rack, semi-horizontal, some were standing vertical on a shelf. The wine rack and storage locations is climate controlled and out of any sunlight, direct or indirect. We purchased wine from numerous wineries that weekend, of all types, and all of them were stored in one or more of these three manors with no issues. As for our family friend, they stored their bottle in a standard semi-horizontal wine rack. If you have any more questions, please let me know. Rick.

Since then I have heard nothing. I have tried to contact them, on the 24th…And on the 31st of May… And as of today, still nothing. So, I am still disappointed with the Crossing Winery and the Owner/General Manager, Mr. Douglas Jones. We will not be returning, and I hope others will consider what we went through prior to visiting…

Update: Just received an email from the Crossings with an apologies and offer of replacements. I am happy they responded, finally. Will change the star...

My wife and I went to the Crossings Winery for our 27th Anniversary dinner and camped at the RV park across the street. I made these arrangements two weeks prior and wasn't aware at the time it was going to be extremely HOT at 111 degrees that day! We had planned on leaving by 1 pm but I was late getting off of work that morning which delayed our departure. We arrived at approximately 3:45 pm and checked in with a pleasant young lady at the desk and went to set up camp since we had 6 pm dinner reservations.

When we arrived at our RV space it was 110 degrees so I left my wife and Yorkie in the truck with the A/C running until I was able to provide power to the RV and turn the A/C unit on. Setting up camp took longer than expected due to the intense heat so I called the desk to see if I could change our dinner reservations to 6:30 pm which was accomplished without a problem.

My wife and I arrived for dinner and the dining room was closed. We were informed by a very apologetic gal that due to the extreme heat today the dining room A/C unit was not adequate for patrons to have dinner there and we were offered the same dinner menu and services in the bar area. Without any other option we accepted and were escorted to a table in the bar area which I believe turned out to be the best thing that could of happened for us!

We were greeted by our server Nancy and we began the dinner with a calamari appetizer and drinks. The calamari was wonderful and Nancy spoiled us incredibly for the rest of the evening! A short time later we ordered a prime rib and chicken marsala dinner as two gentleman were setting up the stage and tuning guitars for their music.

The music began and these guys were entertaining and very interactive with the patrons. Our dinner was incredible while enjoying the music and interacting with the musicians who were awesome! We enjoyed a wonderful evening and were well taken care of by both the staff and the musicians.

My wife and I will return soon for another dinner but after this experience we will be asking to have dinner served in the bar area instead of the dining room where we can enjoy the music! It was a great anniversary evening and I would have given a 5 star rating if the A/C would have been functioning and the dining room would have been open but I'm convinced it wouldn't have been near the...

Visited on an excellent Saturday evening. Reservations would not be needed for our small party of two but the reservation process was simple and hostess was very accommodating. Got to the winery early as to take some time on the driving range. Beautiful views and a nice golf course, looking forward to doing a round on another day. Dinner was excellent. Started out with seating over seeing the golf course and listening to the live music which was well set for the evening. Appetizer was the stuffed mushrooms. No complaints. Flavor was perfect and still was able to enjoy the cooked mushrooms as well. A small loaf of bread accompanied the start of the meal and was excellent to enjoy it while diving into the wine flights we ordered. A variety of their local wines which all had their own unique build, but all were great on the palate. I ordered the ribeye with potatoes and corn. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Buttery taste with the right amount of spices. Perfectly accompanied by the mashed potatoes and alone or mixed with the potatoes, the corn was fantastic and full of flavor. We ended the meal with apple crumble and it was a perfect end to our evening. Worth the stop if you're road tripping by, a short drive off the free way, or a perfect date night location as they also offer cabins and other rental accommodations. I reccomend it whether it's a small party or a large gathering. You'll enjoy the food, service,...
