    I spy with my little eye a BIG yellow sign above the doors:…read more [ GIANT WINE SALE ] *Cuts across 2 lanes of traffic, crashes through snowbank, abandons running vehicle in fire lane* The Vineyard is a nice little shop that just so happens to be in between my mother's condo and the highway back to Boston. Don't mind if I do... Offering a variety of delicious wines, beers, and liquor as well as a fresh deli section where you can find "The World of Cheese" - how can you go wrong? Certainly not with the prepared lunch items or freshly made desserts... Stop on by if you've got a party to go to or even if you're spending a quiet night at home. Why not pick up some scratch tickets at the counter as well as some cigarettes or cigars? The Vineyard is here to help you have a great weekend.

    I've been here twice, the first time was just to get a bottle of gin which was pleasant but…read moreunremarkable. The second time I went here was for one of their "grand tasting" events which was terrible. I went with several friends all in our mid 20's. I'm not sure if we were pegged from the beginning as "cheap college kids" or something but the treatment received was astonishing. Granted this is only my second wine tasting event ever and this is only an isolated experience so I'm giving them two stars assuming future experiences might go better and because as a store, they seem acceptable. Now, back to the tasting. My 3 friends and I had always talked about wanting to go to one of these tastings at the vineyard that we see every time we drive by. When we heard about the next tasting we decided try it out and stock up on our favorites. We headed out later that night, walked up, showed our id's, signed in, giving them our address and email, and in return we received some small sample glasses. We have all been getting non-stop emails ever since (sometimes 2 or 3 a day!) which we can't seem to unsubscribe from, but thats another matter entirely. Upon entering we realized this was a rather well attended event and most of the other people present were clearly experienced wine tasters, they appeared to have all brought their own glasses and were all good friends with the people serving wine. We assumed these people would be just as friendly with us. At the first tasting table there were 3 whites and 3 reds to pick from and no one else in line so we walked up, requested the wines were were interested in, tasted them and wrote down our thoughts, no problem. The person serving the wine did not offer us any comments on the wine such as its history or the flavors that we should expect and was otherwise not very talkative, assuming this was an isolated experience and that we would learn more at the next table, we moved on, at least we tried to move on. Thats when we looked at the next table to realize that the server was still talking to the same group of people that he had been talking to for 20+ minutes now and they had long since finished tasting wines. We moved over there and tried to politely interrupt so that we could also sample some of his wines. The people were very rude, refused to make room for us at the table and did not acknowledge our presence. One of the less patient people in our group ended up just breaking into the existing conversation after standing there for 5 minutes and requested to try a specific wine, the server poured him a taste and then went right back into his conversation, ignoring the other 3 of us that were also standing there waiting for service. Another one of us interrupted and asked for a pour, was served and then again he went right back into conversation. After the two more abrupt members of our group tried a wine or two at that table, the rest of us decided to move on to the next one. At the third table we saw a familiar scene, a server deep in conversation with a group of people that appeared to be talking to him for some time, again we tried to break in to try some of the wines but this time we were told to come back later. We complied and moved onto the next table with the identical situation, in fact there was only one other table not in conversation and as we approached it, the server placed his wine under the table and walked away to go attend to something else. At this point we getting the distinct feeling that we were outsiders in a very exclusive club, we didn't have the right wine glasses and we didn't know the right people. I'm not sure what we were doing wrong but we ended up leaving after only tasting about 3 wines each and just made our own wine tasting back at home. My hope is that vineyard reads this and realizes how difficult it can be for some people to enter an exclusive scene and tries to make their wine tastings a bit more "newbie friendly" - maybe put a "wine tasting for dummies pamphlet" out on the table so we know when its appropriate to interrupt and when its not? I hope when we get the confidence to go back to the vineyard for another tasting we will feel a bit more comfortable and hopefully have the opportunity to actually buy something.
