What happened after Mystery Diners?

In the Mystery Diners episode "Barrel of Monkeys" (aired 2015-02-25), Doffo Winery owner Damian Doffo told investigator Charles Stiles that wine barrels had gone missing from the winery's stock in Temecula. Undercover diners Jamie and Kendall were sent in to observe staff and identify who was responsible, according to the Food Network's episode listing. As is the format of the series, Stiles reviewed the surveillance footage with Doffo afterward and discussed changes to inventory handling meant to prevent further losses. Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing the program's own end-of-episode disclaimer and a critic's review, notes that certain scenes are staged or re-enacted for dramatic effect and that the series has been criticized for implausible scenarios and unconvincing acting. Doffo Winery's own website, checked on 2026-09-09, returned an HTTP 200 response, carried a 2026 copyright notice, and listed current tasting-room hours (Thursday 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday and Saturday until 6 p.m.) under the title 'Doffo Winery - Handcrafted Wines From the Temecula Valley.' A Google Places record for 36083 Summitville St, Temecula, separately listed the business as operating. Together, the site and the listing indicate the winery was still doing business under the same name and at the same address as of that check.
