Good Tasting, Not So Much Other Things
Cana Vineyards and Winery的点评
点评:The tasting at this vineyard was well done. My wife and I just didn’t happen to find most of the wines to our liking. So, no marks down because of that. The person leading the tasting was knowledgeable and friendly, which is what you look for. We did talk a lot about port so they ended up giving a sample of the Porta Bella, which we did end up buying. Checking out was a bit of a joke because there were two people involved, issues with their credit card machine, or perhaps with their own system itself. But, anyway, checking out took twice as long as the time at the tasting for our group of three couples, each with purchases. They were also extremely nice to give us a full shipping carton for free (we offered to pay for it), because we had wine from a couple other vineyards we needed to combine to get home. I felt a bit for a couple other of our couples who did very much like the wine and ordered quite a bit shipped home, and yet still were not comped their tasting. That is just common practice at the many many wineries I have visited around the world – if you buy a good bit of wine, your tasting is then free. Not the case here.
翻译:这家葡萄园的品酒会非常成功。我和妻子碰巧发现大部分酒都不合我们的口味,所以没有因此扣分。品酒会的领队知识渊博,态度友好,这正是我们想要的。我们聊了很多关于波特酒的事情,所以他们最后给了我们一瓶波塔贝拉葡萄酒的样品,我们最终也买了。结账的过程有点滑稽,因为当时有两个人,可能是他们的信用卡刷卡机出了问题,也可能是他们自己的系统出了问题。不过,我们一行三对夫妇,每对都买了酒,结账的时间是品酒会现场的两倍。他们还非常好心地免费送了我们一整箱酒(我们主动提出要付钱),因为我们还有来自其他几个葡萄园的酒需要一起运回家。我有点同情我们的另外几对夫妇,他们非常喜欢这款酒,订购了不少酒,但仍然没有得到品酒会的免费赠品。在我参观过的世界各地的许多酒庄里,这都是很常见的做法——如果你买了一些好酒,就可以免费品酒。但这里的情况并非如此。
