Vaguely aware of the label, biking past and did a u turn back, which was the correct decision. Shawn the winemaker/owner is a character, caustic but in a fun way, calls it as he see's it.

He didn't give us a reasonable explanation why we had to leave (except the above said). Why provide a seating area if you are not allowed to use it? Why invite people to your winery if you don't like people to talk? Furthermore, whenever he poured us a new glass of wine, we would expect some explanation about the specific wine from him, asking interested questions. However, he was very snippy and short from the beginning. He was inexplicably rude. I can absolutely NOT recommend you to go to Muirlea Rise.…
