Update: Sorry it was actually Angus who assisted us. Though I got the name wrong initially, my experience still holds true 😬
Although I expect *the* Benny Vinden to reply to this review, I still feel it necessary to be candid.
As evidenced by many other reviews, Vinden Wines is an exceptional location and winery for many individuals — but unfortunately for me and my husband, it was far from the case.
The location is beautiful, and the wine is honestly fairly nice. It's the winemaker who is the problem. From incessantly flirting with the young women around us, to winking at me with a belittling tone of voice when answering questions — the man is quite frankly, insufferably full of himself.
I can appreciate a person who knows their craft and is proud. I just can't appreciate someone with an ego of his size as well. He became almost competitive in proving he knows more about wine, when we were just genuinely curious and asking questions. It felt like he had to prove something to us.
My word of advice to you, Benny, is to knock your ego down a peg. And my word of advice to other readers of this review — if you don't like being spoken down to, then maybe go elsewhere.
