Not worth your time - go to a wine shop to taste their wine.
Azienda Agricola G.D. Vajra, Barolo的点评
点评:Meh. It was near impossible to get a tasting time. When we finally got an appt we thought we hit the lottery! We got there about 15 minutes early and were told to take a seat while they finished the previous tasting. Our tasting started about 10 minutes late, the employee didn’t introduce herself or really talk much about the vineyard/family/history. She asked our group what we wanted to taste. We all looked at each other like, huh? I said Nebbiolo, and she said something like no, that is boring. She went on to suggest a handful of wines to which the group agreed. Half of the wines we tasted were out of stock, so in some ways, what is the point of tasting them? Two Barolos were in the tasting. I know that is what they are known for, but not my thing. She kept saying the Barolos went great with meat, but only gave dry crackers to cleanse our palette as part of the tasting. We were so excited to get an appointment, but it was actually super disappointing. We visited other vineyards the same day that don’t have anywhere near the reputation of G.D. Vajra that were more informative, offered beautiful venues and had a selection of meats and cheeses to accompany the tasting.
The prices for their wine were the same or more than we can get in the US. Tasting was at a table in the entry/office building. One seat out of 9 or so had a view out the window, otherwise everyone was staring at a wall. Just not what I thought when visiting a highly regarded vineyard in Italy.
翻译:嗯。几乎不可能得到品酒时间。当我们终于预约到的时候,我们感觉自己中了彩票!我们提前15分钟到达,被告知要坐下来,等他们结束之前的品酒。我们的品酒会晚了大约10分钟才开始,工作人员既没有自我介绍,也没有怎么谈论葡萄园/家族/历史。她问我们想尝什么。我们面面相觑,好像在问,嗯?我说内比奥罗,她说不,那太无聊了。她接着推荐了几款酒,大家都同意了。我们品尝的酒有一半都卖光了,所以从某种程度上来说,品尝它们还有什么意义呢?品酒会上还有两款巴罗洛。我知道这是他们出名的原因,但不是我喜欢的。她一直说巴罗洛配肉很棒,但品酒时只给了我们一些干饼干来清洁味蕾。我们非常兴奋能得到预约,但实际上却非常失望。同一天,我们参观了其他一些葡萄园,它们的名气远不及G.D. Vajra,但这些葡萄园的信息更丰富,场地也很漂亮,而且品酒时还提供各种肉类和奶酪。
他们的葡萄酒价格和我们在美国能买到的一样,甚至更高。品酒是在入口/办公楼的一张桌子上进行的。大约九个座位中,只有一个可以看到窗外的景色,除此之外,每个人都只能盯着墙看。这和我参观意大利一家备受推崇的葡萄园时的想法完全不一样。
