Flying Dutchman Winery, Otter Rock

Very helpful in finding the wine we wanted. Do not know a lot about wine, but felt very comfortable in this place. Explained what we wanted, tried a few, found the perfect wine. Bought a couple bottles, and he threw in an opener for free.

The tasting roon staff, just a few steps away from Devil's Punchbowl on the Oregon coast, are friendly and the wine selection is excellent. One of Oregon's best-kept secrets. Great site for a picnic lunch -- and a taste of great Oregon wine -- on the beach.

To start with, when we walked in there was no one behind the bar. We waited inside for nearly ten minutes before someone finally showed up. Only my fiance' was sampling as I was driving. However, she offered me a sip of her sample. Immediately upon her doing so, the man behind the bar was clearly offended she did that as to imply he was losing business because she offered to let me have a taste. Then without asking, he aggressively put an empty glass in front us and put a splash into it and then walked away from us. Due to his actions and demeanor, we did not even sample it. If we want to share our sample with one person or three, that is our prerogative and not for anyone else to dictate especially since we are paying for it. I don't know who the person behind the bar was, but he was not friendly, did not engage in any conversation at all and was just rude. Although the wine was good, I would NEVER buy anything from this winery. Unfortunately for the winery, we would have purchased a bottle, but due to the employee's actions, it didn't happen. In addition, I will certainly pass along my experience to others as well.

But super friendly, but good wine and a great location!

Never been to a winery where the sommelier took no interest in describing the wine or even suggesting to try some. Tried 2 wine tastes. Liked one but chose not to buy because the steward couldn't care less.
