点评:I visited Soter Vineyards years ago and wrote a stellar review. I was eager to return and filled with anticipation. My experience began on a high note and ended disappointingly.
A friend and I were warmly greeted and offered a glass of wine during check in. We were seated at an inside table with two other women. The four of us had ordered our own charcuterie plate. We sampled the soft cheese. It was delicious. Soon afterwards the flies arrived.
The large flies ruined our experience. At least ten flies landed on our cheeses, fruit, crackers, wine glasses and plates. They never went away. All four of us were constantly shooing the flies away between sips of wine. Our friendly server was present during this time and did not apologize or take any steps to address the problem. In fact, when we were leaving, he asked us if we wanted to take the remaining charcuterie with us. We declined and then looked at each other in disbelief. Who would want to take food that had so many flies on it? If Soter cannot rid itself of the flies, at least show consideration for your guests and provide a screened cover for the cheese board. To expect guests to continually swipe flies away during a wine tasting we pay to experience is simply unacceptable.
Before making indoor reservations, I suggest asking first if Soter has mitigated their fly problem.
Top marks for the wines and setting.

我和一位朋友在办理入住手续时受到了热烈的欢迎,并提供了一杯葡萄酒。我们和另外两名女士坐在里面的桌子旁。我们四个人点了自己的熟食盘。我们品尝了软奶酪。很美味。不久之后,苍蝇就来了。
大苍蝇毁了我们的经历。至少有十只苍蝇落在我们的奶酪、水果、饼干、酒杯和盘子上。他们从未离开过。我们四个人一边喝着酒,一边不停地赶苍蝇。我们友好的服务器在这段时间在场,没有道歉或采取任何措施来解决问题。事实上,当我们离开时,他问我们是否想带走剩下的熟食。我们拒绝了,然后难以置信地看着对方。谁会愿意吃上面有这么多苍蝇的食物呢?如果 Soter 无法自行消灭苍蝇,至少要考虑一下您的客人,并为奶酪板提供一个屏蔽罩。在我们付费体验的品酒过程中,期望客人不断地把苍蝇赶走是完全不可接受的。
在进行室内预订之前,我建议先询问 Soter 是否已经缓解了苍蝇问题。
葡萄酒和环境的最高分。
