点评:We stopped by William Chris Vineyards in winery in Hye, TX on the way to Fredericksburg. It’s a very nice location and sits in the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill country. The views are pretty amazing. Over the years the winery has done a lot to expand, adding new buildings and new party areas for the members club. Even though we were a walk-in, and they were pretty busy, they quickly accommodated us, and we had our tasting in the new tasting room, located to the rear of the property by the vineyards.
In addition to the nice ladies who helped us at the welcome station, the workers in the tasting room were equally as pleasant…. Knowledgeable about the wines, and very informative about the various areas of Texas where the grapes are grown. The wines themselves were all reserve reds, and it was a mixed bag IMHO. We loved the Mourvedre and the Sangiovese, not so much the others (La Pradera Blend, Cabernet Franc, and Enchante). We also shared a charcuterie board which was very good!
IMHO, the wines are way over-priced, especially when compared to substantially similar wines at other good Texas wineries. There are too many great wines out there to be paying mid to upper $60s, into the $70s per bottle. It’s a nice and fun place to visit, just way over-priced for the quality.
翻译:在去弗雷德里克斯堡的路上,我们在德克萨斯州海伊的威廉克里斯葡萄园酒庄停了下来。它的位置非常好,坐落在美丽的德克萨斯丘陵地带的中心地带。景色非常迷人。多年来,酒庄进行了大量的扩张,为会员俱乐部增添了新建筑和新的聚会区域。虽然我们是直接进来的,而且他们非常忙,但他们很快就安排了我们,我们在新的品酒室进行了品酒,品酒室位于酒店后方的葡萄园旁边。
除了在迎宾站帮助我们的漂亮女士们之外,品酒室的工作人员也同样令人愉快......对葡萄酒很了解,并且非常了解德克萨斯州种植葡萄的各个地区。这些葡萄酒都是珍藏的红葡萄酒,在我看来,味道好坏参半。我们喜欢慕合怀特和桑娇维塞,不太喜欢其他的(La Pradera Blend、品丽珠和 Enchante)。我们还分享了一份熟食拼盘,味道非常好!
恕我直言,这些葡萄酒的价格太高了,尤其是与德克萨斯州其他优质酒庄的类似葡萄酒相比。市面上有太多好酒,每瓶售价 60 多美元,甚至 70 多美元。这是一个不错且有趣的地方,只是价格太高,质量却如此之好。
