点评:We had the worst service last week at Hearst Ranch Winery in San Simeon. They now have unfriendly tasting policies. We were a group of three couples who are members, and three couples who were not. We were told that we would need to seated as a group of 12, only 4 complementary tastings, and the other 8 tastings would be $45 each with a mandatory 20% tip. My response was that we would take two tables of 6 instead, since each member is entitled to 4 tastings (which would have covered our group). Even though the winery was less than 20% full, they sat us as far away from each other as possible. They were passive aggressive and rude about it, plus they would only comp 4 tastings per table, despite us being members. Additionally, one can no longer buy a glass or bottle of wine to share at the table (even though we spent $250 on their food for lunch).
Needless to say, we have cancelled our membership, and our guests have no interest in this winery. There are plenty of wineries out there that value their members. I reached out to the winery to explain this, and at one point the owner wanted to talk to me, but then changed her mind and ghosted me.
翻译:上周,我们在圣西蒙的 Hearst Ranch Winery 享受到了最差的服务。他们现在的品酒政策很不友好。我们三对夫妇是会员,三对夫妇不是会员。他们告诉我们,我们需要以 12 人的团体就座,只能免费品尝 4 次,其他 8 次品尝每人 45 美元,还必须支付 20% 的小费。我的回答是,我们改坐两张 6 人桌,因为每个会员有权品尝 4 次(这样我们整个团体就够了)。尽管酒庄的客满率不到 20%,但他们还是让我们坐得尽可能远。他们对此态度消极,态度粗鲁,而且尽管我们是会员,但他们每张桌子只免费品尝 4 次。此外,人们不能再买一杯或一瓶葡萄酒在餐桌上分享(尽管我们花了 250 美元购买他们的午餐)。
不用说,我们已经取消了会员资格,我们的客人对这家酒庄不感兴趣。有很多酒庄重视他们的会员。我联系了酒庄解释了这一点,有一次,老板想和我谈谈,但后来改变了主意,不再理我了。
