点评:We popped into Grandvewe Cheeses on a cold June day whilst in the area. Diane welcomed us and we had a lovely chat before she offered us a tasting - we love cheese so we were most happy to partake. She gave us great information about the production and flavours of each of the cheeses we tasted. The tasting experience also included a tipple of her son's vodka and gin brand - Hartshorn - where we were again taken through the range in detail. Whilst Diane was very welcoming, we weren't informed about the cost of the tasting when we arrived and in retrospect, I'm not sure I can find the value in the $15pp tasting fee; we tried a tiny square of four different cheeses, a dab of the pinot paste and a few dribbles of Hartshorn vodka. I'm certainly not adverse to paying for a tasting (in fact, I prefer to pay for a tasting to ensure the business is remunerated for their services), but I felt like the tasting lacked substance for the price considering the fee isn't even partly redeemable on a purchase. Perhaps if we'd been better informed prior about the cost and inclusions in the tasting we might've just paid for my tasting (my partner doesn't drink) and would've opted to purchase a cheese platter to have on their premises. Nevertheless, we enjoyed meeting Diane and hearing about Grandvewe sheep milk cheeses! We purchased a few cheeses to take home with us which we're looking forward to having this weekend!
翻译:六月的一个寒冷的日子,我们在该地区时,顺便去了 Grandvewe Cheeses。Diane 欢迎了我们,我们进行了愉快的交谈,然后她邀请我们品尝 - 我们喜欢奶酪,所以我们非常乐意品尝。她向我们详细介绍了我们品尝的每种奶酪的生产和口味。品尝体验还包括品尝她儿子的伏特加和杜松子酒品牌 - Hartshorn - 我们再次详细了解了各种产品。虽然 Diane 非常热情,但我们到达时并不知道品尝的费用,回想起来,我不确定 15 美元/人的品尝费是否物有所值;我们尝试了一小块四种不同的奶酪、一点黑皮诺酱和几滴 Hartshorn 伏特加。我当然不反对付费品尝(事实上,我更愿意付费品尝,以确保商家能从他们的服务中获得报酬),但我觉得品尝缺乏价值,因为费用甚至不能部分用于购买。如果我们事先更好地了解品尝的费用和包含的内容,我们可能会直接支付品尝费用(我的伴侣不喝酒),并选择购买奶酪拼盘放在他们的店里。尽管如此,我们很高兴见到黛安,并听说了 Grandvewe 羊奶酪!我们买了一些奶酪带回家,我们期待着这个周末能吃到!
