A friend and I visited Osoyoos this week and decided to do some local wine tastings in a few of the wineries. We decided on Phantom Creek Estates as one of our options.
Upon arrival, we were informed that the tastings wenre $15 each and that we would each have three. The female sommelier offered us the wine list to choose from, and then shortly after proceed to talk about joining their wine club. We were not too interested as we both already belong to different wine clubs.
Another group came in at this time at which point the female sommelier paid full attention to them, leaving us sitting there waiting after she quickly went through our three pours.
I at some point I has asked her to try something on the wine list, that was open to pour, and it was one of the more expensive bottle as I was looking for a special bottle for a gift. I was told that perhaps if we thought we'd like to join the wine club then I could try it!!! I was so incredibly offended.
When we finished our tastings, we wanted to just purchase a couple bottles and leave but had to ask another person as our server never came back to us, she basically ignored us after that.
I would never come back to this winery ever again. It was such a disappointing tasting experience, with a pretentious and pushy atmosphere. Luckily, several other wineries were amazing, friendly, informative and we purchased a few dozen bottles of fabulous wines before departing for Vancouver.
I would highly recommend Silver Sage, Burrowing Owl and NKMip if you're looking for great wine tasting experiences and amazing wines.
