Glenora Wine Cellars

Have not been treated so rudely by a member of the public in many, many years as I was today by the man doing the Glenora Wines wine tasting before Thanksgiving in Ithaca. I had come from teaching a work class on local farm knowledge and the importance of the local economy (for international scholars) and stopped in to get my Thanksgiving wines. I saw that a wine tasting was underway and approached the table where it was taking place. The Glenora man, in his Glenora wine shirt, utterly ignored me while pouring for three males customers, all the while in a deep conversation. Finally, made to feel like a beggar, I left the counter and went and bought other wines. I host Finger Lakes wine tastings often for colleagues and spend a lot of money for various organizations on wine at this store, close to $700 a month some months. I was shocked to be treated so badly because I was in "farm work clothes" or because I was a woman in a male space. My bad for assuming a public wine tasting in my local liquor store was open to the .... public. It will be a cold day in hell before I go to Glenora wines. If this guy was the owner -- shame on you. If this guy was representing your firm, you need to get someone with more respect for Ithaca and women.

Best wines from the several we've visited. John was very knowledgeable, personable and helpful. Enjoyed our wine tasting so much we are now sitting at the restaurant overlooking Seneca lake!

I was not impressed for this wines. Some of the whites and roses were kept in a sink exposed directly to the sun, they were not served on right temperature, in addition my glass was dirty and unfortunately the staff was not knowledgeable enough. The place has so much potential and the view is so beautiful that I hope they manage to improve a little bit the services.
