I had the honor of officiating a wedding at this Vineyard recently. While the staff were pleasant, and the wine itself was really quite good, the owner's wife purposefully went out of her way to be as unpleasant as possible, about everything she touched. I'm not the only person here to share this opinion, either. Her husband is a very nice gentleman, and everyone else I spoke to or dealt with from the Vineyard was pleasant as well. But...
As a member of clergy, I don't expect to be treated like royalty, nor would I want to be. I would hope for a modicum of civility - the same that should be extended to everyone. I watched as the bride and groom, family and other members of the bridal party were verbally berated and trod upon. There were several points during the ceremony itself when a drunken patron of the Vineyard, not an invited guest of the wedding, made inappropriate comments toward several young ladies and the Vineyard made no attempt to discourage him. I almost had to interrupt the ceremony to address him.
I happened to have overheard what the bride and groom were paying to rent this property, and for that much, the Vineyard should have closed all other business. Instead, wedding guests were inconvenienced, put off, and looked down upon. The owner's wife purposefully gave the impression that she did not want to deal with the wedding party, but she certainly did want their money.
