Review of Lieb Cellars

We visited 3 vineyards while on the North Fork yes...

We visited 3 vineyards while on the North Fork yesterday and this one was the only one who did not offer flights which is a tray of about 4-5 mini wine glasses for a tasting so you can try a few of their classic wines. You would think they would want to do this for their customers as a selling point. Apparently the elite customers who made a reservation in advance got the choice comfortable seating on their deck with the option to get the flight tasting..... but for others like us who were walk-ins, we were sat on the perimeter of the elite on wooden picnic tables on the grass where you could only buy wine by the glass or the bottle.

Worst part was the excuse by the waitress who said it was basically too difficult and time consuming to serve everyone flights so they decided to keep it to those who reserved. Lololol. Seriously?! Too time consuming to serve flights to the 5-6 picnic tables outside the reservation area??

We only stayed because we were already sitting down when we found out this policy. We were forced to buy 3 Glasses and each of us poured some into the plastic water glasses they provided so we can all taste the variety we each got. Needless to say they did not get our business for buying bottles there, nor will they get the business when we buy local wines from stores.
