I reside north of Bemidji, and yesterday was my first time at the Forestedge Winery. I brought some friends with me who were up visiting from Chicago. WHAT A MISTAKE! We waited in line for the wine tasting for 15 minutes, and the gentleman behind the counter ignored us and let several other people go around us. So finally we went outside and the nice young man tending the bar offered to let us taste what he had stocked on the patio. After inquiring, we found they also were not offering tours because of a wedding! We shrugged it off, and went back inside to find there was room for us at the counter. The same man who initially ignored us was very rude, and didn't talk to us about the wines whatsoever. I asked to taste one more, and the man said to the people next to us, " Hold on a minute, folks, this girl is obviously 14 and wants to try the raspberry". Well I was very offended and said so to the man at the register, and all he said was "I think he is under a little stress". Well you know what, Forestedge? Stress is no reason to treat a paying customer like that! I can guarantee I will NEVER be back, and its too bad because I all but run a tour guide service up here for friends and family who come up to visit. Your wine is excellent, but not enough to make up for your APPALLING service! I make my own wine, and can refrain from buying yours. Although I do thank you because this will spare me the long drive out there in the future.
