点评:My friend and I did the 10AM Tribute Estate Tour & Tasting with Donna, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire wine country trip. We were lucky enough to have a private tour that morning, which made the experience even more special.
The property is absolutely stunning vineyard hills, vibrant flowers, palm trees, and mountain view’s. Donna drove us through the estate, sharing her deep knowledge and passion for Benziger’s biodynamic winemaking practices. I went in knowing nothing about biodynamics, and by the end, I was genuinely impressed.
Throughout the tour, we saw so many beautiful aspects of the estate- their sheep, water reservoir, gardens, wine making operations, and the wine cave. Every stop was picturesque and peaceful.
We finished the tour with additional wine tastings inside a lovely room, complete with thoughtful food pairings that enhanced the wines. It gave us a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship.
Out of the nine wineries we visited on our trip, Benziger was by far our favorite—even topping our experiences in Napa. Their wines were the best we tasted, and the combination of hospitality, education, and setting made this a standout. This winery is truly a hidden gem in Sonoma. I will absolutely be back!
翻译:上午10点,我和朋友与唐娜一起参加了Tribute Estate之旅及品酒会,这成为了我们整个酒乡之旅的亮点之一。那天早上,我们很幸运地安排了一次私人导览,这让这次体验更加特别。
酒庄拥有令人叹为观止的葡萄园山丘、鲜艳的花朵、棕榈树和壮丽的山景。唐娜开车带我们参观了酒庄,分享了她对本齐格生物动力酿酒技术的深厚知识和热情。我一开始对生物动力法一无所知,但参观结束后,我被深深地震撼了。
在整个旅程中,我们看到了酒庄的许多美丽之处——绵羊、水库、花园、酿酒车间和酒窖。每一站都风景如画,宁静祥和。
最后,我们在一个漂亮的房间里品尝了额外的葡萄酒,并搭配了精心搭配的美食,让葡萄酒更加醇美。这让我们对酒庄的精湛技艺有了全新的认识。
在我们此行参观的九家酒庄中,Benziger 绝对是我们最喜欢的,甚至超过了我们在纳帕的体验。他们的葡萄酒是我们品尝过的最佳佳酿,热情好客、知识普及和环境的结合,让这家酒庄脱颖而出。这家酒庄简直是索诺玛的一颗隐藏瑰宝。我一定会再来的!
