Stunning building, uneven tasting experience
Blue Grouse Estate Winery and Vineyard的点评
点评:The winery is in a beautiful location and in a a stunning building! We had a reservation and were welcomed and shown to a table on the patio for our tasting. After quite a wait, someone came to provide us with wine. The wines were all poured one after the other and we were left to taste on our own. The server did give us a very brief explanation of each wine, and there was a list for reference, but that list also included wines not being tasted. This left us to our own devices, which was fine, but there was not opportunity to ask follow-up questions.
A fair number of their wines are German varietals, and some were not wines we had encountered before. After our tasting time, we paid our bill and were on our way.
There were many staff in the area, the facility does have a boutique as well, but we were not eager to engage in conversation about the wine, as it seemed asking questions was not encouraged.
I have been to many, many wine tastings both in the U.S. and in Canada and belong to wine clubs, have taken courses, etc. yet I felt intimidated. Obviously not an experience I would recommend despite the beautiful space.
翻译:酒庄位于风景优美的地点,建筑令人惊叹!我们预订了座位,受到热情接待,被带到露台上的一张桌子旁品尝。等了好一会儿,才有人来给我们送酒。酒一瓶接一瓶地倒上,让我们自己品尝。服务员确实对每种酒都做了非常简短的解释,并给我们提供了一份参考清单,但清单上也包括了没有品尝的酒。这让我们自己想办法,这很好,但没有机会问后续问题。
他们的葡萄酒中相当一部分是德国品种,有些是我们以前没有遇到过的。品尝完后,我们付了账就走了。
该地区有很多工作人员,该设施也有一个精品店,但我们并不急于参与有关葡萄酒的对话,因为似乎不鼓励提问。
我参加过美国和加拿大的很多葡萄酒品鉴会,也加入过葡萄酒俱乐部,参加过课程等等,但我还是感到害怕。虽然场地很美,但显然我不会推荐这种体验。
