点评:Total scam for the money. Tasting middle of the road wines for $95 with one glass that you have to carry with you around the property and sip it while standing or on the go is the worst tasting experience one can get in Napa Valley. Our guide was 20 min late to start the tour. Then our group of 8 walked to the cave to find no tables available to sit down for tasting. Ended up in another back up tasting room where no wine was available. Another long wait for the guide who had to procure more wine. Not much was shared with us about the wine making process.
Overall, we felt neglected and scammed. Yes, this winery has one of the best views of the valley. But it does not justify the price, and even more so does not deserve the time we wasted on coming there.
We left the tour after wasting full hour to make two sips of wine. To managers credit, he acknowledged our complain and returned the money.
Our next tasting was at Odette, where for same price we had an amazing sit-down tasting with wines 4 times more valuable then Rutherford Hill, cheese board included and our name printed on the tasting chart. We felt welcome and appreciated at Odette. Quite opposite from Rutherford Hill experience.
翻译:完全是骗人的。品尝价格 95 美元的平庸葡萄酒,还得随身携带一杯,站着或边走边喝,这绝对是纳帕谷最糟糕的品酒体验。我们的导游迟到了 20 分钟才开始导览。然后我们一行 8 人走到酒窖,却发现已经没有空桌可以品酒了。最后我们去了另一间备用品酒室,那里没有酒。导游又等了很久,他不得不去拿更多的酒。他们没有跟我们分享太多关于酿酒过程的信息。
总的来说,我们感觉被忽视了,被欺骗了。没错,这家酒庄拥有山谷中最好的景色之一。但它与价格不符,更不值得我们浪费时间前来。
我们浪费了整整一个小时才喝了两口酒,然后就离开了。值得称赞的是,经理接受了我们的投诉并退还了钱。
我们接下来的品酒会是在奥黛特酒庄 (Odette),同样的价格,我们享受了一次精彩的品酒体验,酒水价格比卢瑟福山酒庄 (Rutherford Hill) 高出四倍,还附赠奶酪拼盘,品酒表上还印着我们的名字。在奥黛特,我们感受到了宾至如归的热情和重视。这与卢瑟福山酒庄的体验截然相反。
