点评:On our way to Mast Farm Inn I decided to surprise my hubby with a wine tour and tasting before our anniversary weekend began. What a way to start.
Lindsay granddaughter of the owner was amazing from making the reservation via email to greeting us with a delicious glass of their champagne. Since we had been driving for four hours from Raleigh, we started with the tour before the tasting. I’m so glad we didbecause we really got to learn about how the grapes are harvest and used for the wine. Was very educational specially since my husband and I just started enjoying wine ourselves.
The tasting was amazing. We ended up just doing five wines to share because we still had to drive to our destination, which was amazinglysweet of Lindsey to accommodate us. Our favorite was the 94 however, the recently was an amazing dessert wine their cherry wine honestly would be really good in the sangria and the Bordeaux would be spot on with a pasta dish. Lindsey was very knowledgeable about the wines and the best pairings for them whichmade it really easy for us to purchase a few wines ourselves.
I highly recommend if you’re visiting the Boone Banner elk area definitely put this winery tour and tasting on your to-do list.
翻译:在前往马斯特农场旅馆的途中,我决定在周年纪念周末开始前,为丈夫安排一场葡萄酒品鉴之旅作为惊喜。这样的开场方式真是棒极了。
酒庄主人的孙女林赛表现得非常出色:从通过电子邮件为我们预订行程,到用一杯美味的香槟来欢迎我们。由于我们从罗利开车过来已经四个小时了,我们决定先参观酒庄再进行品鉴。我很庆幸我们这么做了,因为这样我们才能真正了解葡萄是如何收割以及如何用来酿造葡萄酒的。这次体验非常有教育意义,尤其是因为我和丈夫才刚开始学着欣赏葡萄酒。
品酒过程棒极了。由于之后还要驾车前往目的地,我们最终只品尝了五款酒来分享。林赛很贴心地满足了我们的需求,真是太贴心了。我们最喜欢的酒款是评分94的那款;不过他们新出产的樱桃酒也是一款绝佳的甜酒,用来调制桑格利亚酒再合适不过了。至于波尔多红酒,则与意大利面搭配起来堪称绝配。林赛对各类葡萄酒及其最佳搭配方式了如指掌,这让我们自己挑选葡萄酒变得非常轻松。
如果您打算游览布恩·班纳麋鹿保护区,我强烈推荐您把这次酒庄参观与品酒活动列入行程清单。
