点评:Out of the dozens of wineries we've enjoyed over the years, this is one of the most memorable.
Making our way to the entrance, I was impressed by the immaculate grounds and gardens. We entered to a friendly greeting by a young woman who turned out to be the daughter of their master vintner, We were offered four pre-chosen tasting flights and chose the whites and the reds, ordered a charcuterie board, and made our way to their spacious and lovely seating area.
The tasting flights are nicely presented and the pours are generous--I'd say 3-4 ounces each. We made our way through the whites, then the reds, and all were good with a clean finish. Our personal favorites were the legacy white, a Chardonnay that had a strong palate of sour apple--would be great on a warm day with a flavorful fish entree. But when we hit the reds we tasted their vintnr's select blend, and OH MY it took no prisoners!
Let's pause to note that the charcuterie board was good, with some tasty cheese, jam, almonds, dried apricots, and meats.
Normally we take away 2 or 4 bottle of our favorite wines from a tasting. Here, we got a full case including a half-dozen bottles of the vintner's select, a couple of which we will keep until winter when I make my annual sauerbraten--this is a wine that will stand up and testify against the most strongly flavored dishes! Now, of course your taste may vary--I'm pretty sure they have something here for every preference.
It was about a 45 minute drive from where we were staying, and well worth the time and gas money. If you appreciate wineries, do not miss this one!
翻译:多年来,我们品尝过几十家酒庄,而这家是最令人难忘的之一。
走进酒庄入口,一尘不染的庭院和花园给我留下了深刻的印象。一位年轻女士热情地迎接了我们,原来她是酒庄首席酿酒师的女儿。酒庄为我们提供了四份预先选定的品酒套餐,我们选择了白葡萄酒和红葡萄酒,点了一份熟食拼盘,然后前往宽敞舒适的休息区。
品酒套餐摆盘精美,酒量也很大——我估计每份大概有3-4盎司。我们先品尝了白葡萄酒,然后是红葡萄酒,每款酒都口感清爽,回味悠长。我们最喜欢的是经典白葡萄酒,这是一款带有浓郁酸苹果味的霞多丽——在温暖的日子里,搭配美味的鱼类主菜再合适不过了。但当我们品尝红葡萄酒时,我们品尝了他们酒商精选的混酿,天哪,简直不要太好喝!
值得一提的是,他们的熟食拼盘也很棒,里面有一些美味的奶酪、果酱、杏仁、杏干和肉类。
通常,我们每次品酒会都会带走两四瓶我们最喜欢的葡萄酒。这次,我们带走了一整箱,包括六瓶酒商精选葡萄酒,其中几瓶我们会留到冬天,等我做一年一度的酸炖牛肉的时候再喝——这款酒绝对能与最浓郁的菜肴相媲美!当然,你的口味可能会有所不同——我相信这里总有一款适合你的口味。
从我们住的地方开车过来大约45分钟,非常值得花时间和油钱。如果你喜欢酒庄,千万不要错过这家!
