I visited here in September with a group of friends for wine tasting. This was the only winery we visited that asked us to pay before tasting. The cost of tasting, ranged from $15 - 20 depending on the wines you wanted to try (much higher than the standard $5 - 10) was not waived even with a bottle purchase and instead you are given a $10 voucher for any purchases you made. We were not asked for ID when paying for the tasting, but when we wanted to buy all of a sudden they cared about checking.

My experience here leads me to believe the winery cares more about profits than providing guests with a good experience.
