Stone's Throw Winery & Restaurant (written May 28, 2012)

Ambiance: 
I have read over and over about the snobbery of the staff at this winery, and this weekend, we found out what the problem really is at this winery. We visited all of the wineries in Door County this weekend and had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. When comparing this winery to the others, I would say Stones Throw Winery was a higher end establishment. Their wines were pricier, and they did charge $5 for a tasting, which included a wine glass with their emblem engraved on it. We had a lovely young girl named Molly helping us to pick wines based on our taste preferences, and if it wasn't for her, we would not have bought any wine from this establishment. There was a very uncomfortable atmosphere during our entire 45 minute visit. There was a gentleman named Russell working behind the counter. As a visitor, we got the impression that he was either the owner or the manager. He continually berated the employees working there, asking why certain papers were laying around, why certain boxes and bottles were in the places they were and then ordering them to make sure this never happens again and what his expectations were. This seemed like conversation that would be better done prior to the winery opening or during a staff meeting, not during business hours. His demeanor was so uncomfortable for us, that had we not paid for our tasting session, we would have left. We felt so sorry for these girls working for him, that we even commented to several of them that we were sorry they were enduring such berating behavior. They remained silent and just shrugged. If you are looking for an enjoyable experience, this is not your establishment.
