Sometimes you'll find a nice winery, professional yet personal, with good wines and a pleasant atmosphere.
And sometimes you'll come back 18 months later and find a winery that is now professional to a fault. The cellars are modern and big, the wines somewhat rough around the edges, probably because they are still a little young. Having scaled prices per bottle depending on how many cases you buy is acceptable. Even saying on your price list that the tasting will be 2 Euros seems fair enough, a small recompensation for the wine and effort.
What's inexcusable is then proceding to charge 2 Euros (~2.50$ US) per wine and person. The four of us who tasted a total of five wines had to pay 40 Euros for this dubious pleasure. That's 8 Euro for four small sips of Valpolicella classico which only costs 4 Euro a bottle. That's 8 Euro for a week old Recioto that has been drunk privately. That's 40 Euro and not a cent more they'll ever get from me again.
