I wanted to stop in and purchase a bottle of their sparkling red wine that is so unique (and not sold in stores) but when I tried to enter the gift shop from above and at ground level, I was told I needed a general admission ticket! I have done numerous tastings, brought family to tours there etc. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that I was escorted out like a trespasser when simply trying to purchase an item from the shop. It was a weird and embarrassing procedure. Sad to say after all these years of visits that I will not be back. Get it together and support the patrons that would like to purchase items from your gift shop.
