点评:We have visited Pfeiffer Wines on a number of occasions over the years, enjoyed the tasting experience, and purchased a good deal of wine. On this occasion we were not welcomed so we stood at the bar to wait and I read the sign that advised that we could have a $10 or $20 tasting and that fee would only be removed if we purchased more than $80. We always purchase something if we do a tasting, and I do not like this new approach so we left the tasting room. Before leaving the property we went to the bridge to see the tortoises in the river. There was a little table and two chairs on the bridge which could be used for the fee of $5! There were no tortoises to be seen. Perhaps it has become too expensive to live here. We then went for short tastings at Campbells and Chambers wineries where there was no tasting fee, we spent $83 and $150 respectively and felt welcome.
翻译:这些年来,我们多次光顾 Pfeiffer Wines,享受了品酒的乐趣,也买了不少酒。这次他们不太热情,所以我们就站在吧台等着。我看到牌子上写着,我们可以花 10 美元或 20 美元品尝葡萄酒,只有购买超过 80 美元才免收费用。我们每次品尝都要买点东西,但我不喜欢这种新做法,所以我们离开了品酒室。离开酒庄之前,我们去了桥上看河里的乌龟。桥上有一张小桌子和两把椅子,只要付 5 美元就可以使用!结果什么乌龟也没看到。也许这里的生活成本太高了。之后,我们去了 Campbells 和 Chambers 酒庄进行了短暂的品酒,那里不收品酒费,我们分别花了 83 美元和 150 美元,感觉受到了热情的接待。
