Delightful, high-quality, a little quirky
Mount Felix Vineyard & Winery的点评
点评:We enjoy getting tasting flights at independent vineyards and wineries as we travel, and Mount Felix was on our route. Well, it was quite acceptable as a winery--and a little quirky.
We arrived in the late afternoon, about an hour before the tasting room closes, and were a bit dismayed at a young man who pulled a bag of golf clubs out of his car trunk and carried them toward the tasting room. Is there a golf course nearby?
We entered the tasting room, and opted for their tasting fligt of dry wines. There wines are all blends--their vintner, it seems, enjoys the greater challenge of blending. We're generally more fond of varietals but a good blend can be pleasant. It was a very nice day so we moved onto their patio, which has a distant view of the bay.
The mystery of the duffer was revealed then, since next to the patio there is a two-tee elevated driving range. It was entertaining to watch the young man launching a bucket of balls in the general direction of a pinwhile we appeciated the work of their vintner.
The wines are good. So we bought several bottles to take with us. Of interest, their monogrammed carry bag, which will be joining our collection, is the highest quality one we've ever gotten--insulated! Velcro closure! exterior pockets! Clearly they care about customer satisfaction.
On the way out, we were greeted (or insulted) by a rooster whose pen is behind the privacy fence.
They also operated a bed and breakfast--and considering this visit, I might consider them if we are motoring through Maryland again.
翻译:我们喜欢在旅行途中品尝独立葡萄园和酿酒厂的葡萄酒,而菲利克斯山就在我们途中。好吧,作为一家酿酒厂,它还算可以接受——而且有点古怪。
我们到达时已经是下午晚些时候了,大约在品酒室关闭前一个小时,我们有点沮丧地看到一个年轻人从他的汽车后备箱里拿出一袋高尔夫球杆,并将它们带到品酒室。附近有高尔夫球场吗?
我们进入品酒室,选择了他们的干葡萄酒品酒航班。那里的葡萄酒都是混合酒——他们的酿酒师似乎更享受混合酒的更大挑战。我们通常更喜欢单一品种的葡萄酒,但好的混合酒也可以令人愉悦。天气很好,所以我们搬到了他们的露台上,那里可以远眺海湾。
然后,这个笨蛋的秘密就被揭开了,因为露台旁边有一个双发球座高架练习场。看着这个年轻人把一桶球扔向大头针的方向,我们一边欣赏着酿酒师的杰作,一边觉得很有趣。
这里的葡萄酒很不错。所以我们买了几瓶带走。有趣的是,他们印有字母的手提包将加入我们的收藏,这是我们买过的质量最好的手提包——隔热!魔术贴封口!有外部口袋!显然他们很在意顾客的满意度。
在出去的路上,一只公鸡迎接了我们(或者说侮辱了我们),它的围栏在隐私围栏后面。
他们还经营着一家住宿和早餐店——考虑到这次访问,如果我们再次驾车经过马里兰州,我可能会考虑入住他们。
