点评:We tried several wineries during our Hermann stay. Closer in to town than some and larger is the Stone Hill Winery. It’s a more refined (though not necessarily nicer) tourist experience. Stone Hill feels more like an industrial winery, touting itself as one of the largest wine producers in the country. We had two nice experiences here.
Wine Cellar Tour – in order to keep their wines at the proper temperature while it was aging, they made a series of underground cellars. We got to tour them. They were large all filled with both oak barrels of wine and the large stainless-steel tanks. The tour-guide was quite good.
Wine Tasting – they have several tasting rooms. Must get larger crowds at times. We were served by a nice young lady. Knowledgeable about their wines, but a novice regarding the broader wine topics. We had the ‘six’. Didn’t like the wines as well as Adam Puchta. Could have been our choices. Could have been the wines. We mused that it would be nice to have side-by-side tastes of the same varieties from the different wineries.
Good visit.
翻译:我们在赫尔曼逗留期间参观了几家酒庄。石山酒庄(Stone Hill Winery)比其他一些酒庄更靠近镇中心,规模也更大。它提供的旅游体验更加精致(但未必更好)。石山酒庄更像是一家工业化酒庄,自诩为美国最大的葡萄酒生产商之一。我们在这里有两次不错的体验。
酒窖参观——为了在葡萄酒陈酿过程中保持合适的温度,他们建造了一系列地下酒窖。我们参观了这些酒窖。酒窖很大,里面摆满了橡木桶和大型不锈钢罐。导游讲解得相当不错。
品酒——他们有好几个品酒室。有时人会比较多。接待我们的是一位年轻漂亮的女士。她对自己的葡萄酒很了解,但对更广泛的葡萄酒知识却知之甚少。我们点了“六款”葡萄酒。感觉不如亚当·普赫塔(Adam Puchta)的酒好。可能是我们选酒的问题,也可能是酒本身的问题。我们当时就想,要是能把不同酒庄的同一种葡萄酒放在一起品尝,那该多好啊。
参观愉快。
