点评:Made reservations for a lunch hour wine tasting on a weekday in February. Unbeknownst to us, the majority of the vineyard was under construction. We arrived timely and were warmly greeted by the hostess and informed where to go for our tasting. Initially upon arriving we were one of 2 couples seated for the tasting but by the time we ended it was started to get busy. Demetrius was our host and he was timely with providing us pours so our glasses were never empty, which is exactly what we loved. For our tasting we were able to select 5-6 wines to taste. We loved the Port and La Merica and the prices were reasonable! Nonetheless, on a rainy day, it was extremely cozy to be in the enclosed barrel room. Unfortunately, I couldn’t seem to say anything was overly amazing about this winery. Demetrius was timely with pouring but it was transactional, “what wine do you want next?”, “oh that’s a good one”, “okay, you’re welcome.” For being the one of 2 couples when we arrived it would have been nice to either get some knowledge, history or background about the winery. Not to mention that the construction really eliminated the experience and the deli / shop were in trailers.
Overall, good wines for a reasonable price. Again, not sure if it was the construction or our host but something seemed a bit off.
翻译:预订了二月某个工作日的午餐时间品酒会。我们当时并不知道葡萄园的大部分区域正在施工。我们准时到达,受到了女主人的热情接待,并被告知品酒地点。刚到的时候,品酒会上只有两对夫妇,我们是其中之一。但品酒结束后,现场开始变得热闹起来。Demetrius是我们的主人,他总是及时为我们倒酒,让我们的酒杯始终保持畅饮,这正是我们喜欢的。品酒会上,我们挑选了5-6款葡萄酒。我们特别喜欢波特酒和La Merica,价格也很合理!尽管如此,在下雨天,待在封闭的酒桶室里还是非常舒适的。可惜的是,我对这家酒庄的评价实在太差。Demetrius倒酒很及时,但只是客套话,“您接下来想喝什么酒?”,“哦,这酒不错”,“好的,不用客气。”我们到达时,酒庄里只有两对夫妇,我们其中一对,如果能了解一些酒庄的知识、历史或背景就好了。更何况,酒庄的施工确实影响了体验,而且熟食店/商店都开在拖车里。
总的来说,酒质不错,价格也合理。不过,不知道是施工原因还是我们主人的原因,总感觉有点不对劲。
