A family owned business that offers tastings of select wines, olive oils, and balsamic vinegar. There are two shops, (Borgovino) right across from each other that the husband (Franco) & wife (Cheryl) have owned for almost 30 years.

So whatever, we did as we usually do when someone ask for your budget, we played low on the price tag and see how we get attended to. So the lady just bristly showed us her “cheapest” one and then went on to attend to her other customer. Everything is fine up-till then...- just wait for it. Then she came back at us, while we were looking for at the shelves and told us bluntly to “just leave, I know you are not going to buy anything here and leave. Go and find some wines in the supermarket rather and not waste your time here, you won’t find what you’re looking for” . If you like being treated that way, fine and go shop there. But if you’re a wine amateur like me(who has +627 bottles) I’m never going to set foot there again ever You get treated better in a Wine estate tour than in that shoebox of a shop. …
