点评:This a is great place to enjoy really tasty wines, foods and excellent customer service in a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere. We joined another couple for a wine flight and a charcuterie and cheese tray. I chose the red wine flight and my wife chose the fruit wines. We're both red wine lovers but we're open to new, sweeter flavors if done right.
We sat in their outside patio in the back at a table with a large umbrella over it. We could've picked a better table since we were near the exhaust fan to an air conditioner, and my wife and one of our friends wound up sitting partly in the sun as it moved to where the umbrella couldn't block it. For me, the wafting hot air from the exhaust fan was offset my a gentle breeze blowing over me as I sat in complete shade the whole time. We could've moved to a number of open tables but it was our choice to sit and remain there
The red wine flight had four wines. My favorite turned out to be the 1st wine of the flight--Barking Dog Red. It's made from Columbia Valley, WA grapes: 40% Sangiovese, 40% Merlot 20% Syrah. It was a really good quaff and we bought a couple of bottles since my wife also thought it was the best-tasting red of the flight. The other three reds were very nice but this wine was clearly great for drinking on its own or with food.
The four fruit wines flight was surprising to me, being among the best I've ever tasted--and I'm not a fan of most fruit wines. The standouts that we purchased were the Tropical Breeze fruit blend, the Blood Orange and the Blackberry/Raspberry. For me, the Tropical Breeze blend-- peach, mango and pineapple-was wonderful in its gentle complexity that delivered a wonderful tropical nose and flavors. My other favorite was the Blood Orange--in your face nose and flavors that set it apart from any other fruit wine I've drank. I totally loved it. The Black/Raspberry was very good--my wife liked it better than I did--but I'll still drink it!
The charcuterie/cheese platter also had almonds prepared a couple of different ways, chocolate cookies and candies. It was a combo of two or three of their separate platters and was very enjoyable.
We've been to their tasting room on Winslow Way but this was a much more enjoyable experience. We will be back. I especially want to make a return visit because a couple of spots down from the winery there's a pop up kitchen space. On the day we were there, two young men had a pro BBQ rig going and to me it smelled like they were smoking beef brisket. I gotta give that a try the next time if they're cooking it up. But this tasting room stands on its own as a great place to spend some time, drink and eat, and enjoy live music in the evenings.
翻译:这里是您在美丽轻松的氛围中享用真正美味的葡萄酒、美食和优质客户服务的好地方。我们和另一对夫妇一起参加了一次葡萄酒之旅,并享用了熟食和奶酪托盘。我选择了红酒航班,我的妻子选择了果酒。我们都是红酒爱好者,但如果做得好的话,我们愿意接受新的、更甜的口味。
我们坐在他们外面露台后面的一张桌子旁,上面有一把大伞。我们本来可以选择一张更好的桌子,因为我们靠近空调的排气扇,而我的妻子和我们的一个朋友最终坐在阳光下,因为它移动到了雨伞无法阻挡的地方。对我来说,当我一直坐在完全阴凉的地方时,排气扇吹出的热空气抵消了吹在我身上的微风。我们本来可以换到一些开放的桌子,但我们选择坐在那里并留在那里
红酒航班有四种葡萄酒。我最喜欢的是本次航班的第一瓶酒——Barking Dog Red。它由华盛顿哥伦比亚谷葡萄酿制而成:40% 桑娇维塞、40% 梅洛、20% 西拉。这真是一饮而尽,我们买了几瓶,因为我的妻子也认为这是飞机上味道最好的红葡萄酒。其他三种红葡萄酒都非常好,但这款酒显然非常适合单独饮用或与食物搭配。
这四种果酒令我惊讶,是我尝过的最好的果酒之一——而且我不喜欢大多数果酒。我们购买的最出色的是热带微风水果混合物、血橙和黑莓/覆盆子。对我来说,热带微风混合物——桃子、芒果和菠萝——因其温和的复杂性而美妙,带来美妙的热带香气和风味。我最喜欢的另一种是血橙——它的香气和味道使它与我喝过的任何其他果酒不同。我非常喜欢它。黑/覆盆子非常好——我的妻子比我更喜欢它——但我仍然会喝它!
熟食/奶酪拼盘还有用几种不同方式准备的杏仁、巧克力饼干和糖果。这是两三个单独拼盘的组合,非常令人愉快。
我们去过他们位于温斯洛路的品酒室,但这是一次更愉快的经历。我们会回来的。我特别想回访,因为距离酒厂几个地方有一个弹出式厨房空间。我们去那里的那天,两个年轻人有一个专业的烧烤设备,对我来说,闻起来就像他们在吸牛胸肉。如果他们下次做饭的话我一定要尝试一下。但这个品酒室本身就是一个消磨时光、喝酒、吃饭、晚上欣赏现场音乐的好地方。
