点评:I visited this winery over a decade ago. I remember the visit well. It was one of the last things I did with my mother, a wine lover, before she passed away. If the wines I sampled had been as bad as the wines I tried this week, I’d have remembered and not returned.
I tried four wines, two red and two white. The reds were, simply, undrinkable. The first white was little better. I then asked to try the sweetest white wine they had—I do not generally drink sweet wines, but thought I could give it as a gift. I did not like it, but I left with a bottle of Gewürztraminer.
The host was quite nice and accommodating. The tasting room was full of t-shirts and things to buy. It was dimly lit and lacked the ambiance of the first visit.
Iowa has some lovely local wineries. Unfortunately, at least this year, this isn’t one of them.
翻译:十多年前我参观过这家酒庄。我记忆犹新。那是我母亲去世前,我和她一起做的最后几件事之一。我母亲是一位葡萄酒爱好者。如果我品尝的葡萄酒和这周尝的一样糟糕,我肯定会记住,不会再来了。
我尝了四瓶酒,两瓶红葡萄酒和两瓶白葡萄酒。红葡萄酒简直不能喝。第一瓶白葡萄酒略好一些。之后我要求尝尝他们最甜的白葡萄酒——我一般不喝甜葡萄酒,但觉得可以送人。我不喜欢,但还是带了一瓶琼瑶浆离开了。
主人非常友好热情。品酒室里摆满了T恤和一些可以买的东西。灯光昏暗,完全没有第一次来的那种氛围。
爱荷华州有一些很棒的当地酒庄。可惜的是,至少今年这家不在。
