The wines were all good. Obviously liked some more than others. I personally appreciate and prefer biodynamic wines. I just think they have better flavor. I'm not a wine snob, but Troon is Demeter Biodynamic and Regenerative Organic Gold Certified (only one of four in the world). The Amphora Amber Vermentino (orange) was good and the Tannat was awesome. They do small batch so many of the reds had already sold out. Our server, Kitty, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, the process, and the uniqueness of each variety. We were blown away! She paced the tastings perfectly.

The night before, I had a glass of Del Rio Chardonnay at our hotel and really enjoyed it. The woman…read moreserving it mentioned that the winery wasn't far away, so we thought it might be fun to stop for a tasting. Del Rio Vineyards is located in Gold Hill, in Oregon's Rogue Valley. Its tasting room occupies the historic Rock Point Hotel, built in 1864 as a stagecoach stop and later used as one of the area's first telegraph stations. The vineyards stretch out behind the hotel, with a colorful zinnia field off to one side. When you enter, there is a shop where you choose your flight. You can then sit in one of the downstairs rooms or outside at the picnic tables behind the hotel. There were many things I enjoyed about this stop. First was the relaxed, old-school tasting experience. We didn't need reservations. We simply selected a flight, found a place to sit and sampled the wines at our own pace. The flight was $12, but the fee was waived if we purchased two bottles. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. When they learned where we were headed next, they offered helpful recommendations for the rest of our trip. I also noticed that many people had brought food and were enjoying a picnic while drinking wine. The entire experience reminded me of Napa and Sonoma before they became so crowded and commercialized. As with any tasting, there were wines I really enjoyed and a few I would pass on. Overall, though, Del Rio was a relaxed and memorable stop.

We took the day off specifically to visit Schmidt Winery, hoping for a relaxing afternoon of wine,…read morefood, and great hospitality. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most disappointing winery experiences we've had. The biggest issue wasn't just the food--it was the customer service and overall atmosphere. The food service employees were unfriendly, impersonal, and appeared far more interested in their phones than interacting with customers. We ordered a full Caesar salad and one of the most expensive pizzas on the menu. The Caesar salad was surprisingly small, and even though we ordered the full size, it was a very disappointing portion for the price. The pizzas themselves are also quite small compared to what you'd expect from most pizzerias, making the price even harder to justify. The pizza was completely unacceptable. Several slices had virtually no toppings at all--just cheese. For one of the highest-priced pizzas on the menu, the quality was nowhere near what we expected. I brought the pizza back to the counter to show the employee that some slices had no toppings. He didn't apologize, ask what was wrong, or say a single word. He simply took the pizza and walked away. When my wife asked to speak with a manager, she was told, "We have no managers working here today." That response was just as disappointing as the food. Hoping someone in the tasting room could help, I explained what had happened to one of the employees. Instead of apologizing or trying to make things right, the employee responded, "Yeah, we have to send our shit back there all the time because they don't get it right." Hearing an employee speak that way about a coworker and in front of customers was completely unprofessional and made the situation even worse. To their credit, I did receive a refund for the pizza. However, by that point, the experience had already been ruined. As we were leaving, I turned around and noticed the same employee from the tasting room and the employee who had taken back the pizza standing together, watching my wife and me leave while appearing to talk about us. Whether they were or not, that's the impression they gave, and it left us feeling even more unwelcome. What really added insult to injury was seeing one of the employees sit down with a pizza for lunch as we were leaving. Their pizza looked loaded with toppings and looked far better than the one we had just been served. I obviously don't know whether it was made differently or not, but from what we saw, it certainly gave the impression that employees were getting pizzas prepared with far more care than the ones being served to paying customers. What disappointed me most is that Schmidt Winery has so much potential. The property is beautiful, but the hospitality simply doesn't match the setting. The atmosphere felt forced rather than welcoming, and the lack of professionalism from several employees overshadowed everything else. I sincerely hope the owners see this review because I don't believe they would want guests treated this way. Sometimes business owners don't realize the impression their staff is leaving on customers. People may forget exactly what was said or what they ate, but they'll always remember how a place made them feel. Unfortunately, Schmidt Winery made us feel like our business didn't matter. We won't be returning. Fortunately, there are several excellent wineries in the Grants Pass area where customers are treated with genuine hospitality and appreciation. I hope Schmidt Winery takes this feedback seriously, because experiences like ours don't encourage people to come back.
