点评:The Vineyard was very pretty and the guide was very very informative. I have taken tours of many Vineyards and wineries around the world, and this guide really knew her enology and viticulture. It would’ve been a wonderful tour and tasting, except for the fact that at the end she was making fun of one of the wines that we actually wanted to bring home. Which made things a little awkward. It was one of the sweet wines, and I usually love a big red Cabernet, and lived near the California wine region for many years, and was accustomed to California wines, but have grown a fondness for other regional wines, including Australia, and was really enjoying some of their Pinots, but also some of the sweeter wines which are really not offered much in California vineyards. And so we were looking forward to bringing some of the sweeter wines back, and it was really offputting that the guide was sort of making fun of them, because then we felt really odd buying them. Spoiler alert: we bought them anyway! But she made us feel like a little bit of a dummy that we wanted to buy them. I know that a more sophisticated palate would’ve bought some of the other wines, but that’s not what we wanted.
翻译:葡萄园非常漂亮,导游非常博学。我参观过世界各地的许多葡萄园和酿酒厂,这位导游对酿酒学和葡萄栽培学非常了解。这本来是一次很棒的游览和品酒,但最后她取笑了我们真正想带回家的其中一种葡萄酒。这让事情变得有点尴尬。这是一种甜葡萄酒,我通常喜欢大红赤霞珠,在加州葡萄酒产区附近住了很多年,习惯了加州葡萄酒,但也喜欢上了其他地区的葡萄酒,包括澳大利亚葡萄酒,我非常喜欢他们的一些黑皮诺葡萄酒,也喜欢一些加州葡萄园里很少供应的甜葡萄酒。所以我们期待着带一些甜葡萄酒回来,导游有点取笑它们,这让我们很不爽,因为买它们的时候我们觉得很奇怪。剧透:我们还是买了!但她让我们觉得自己像个傻瓜,竟然想买这些酒。我知道,口味更挑剔的人会买其他一些酒,但这不是我们想要的。
