点评:My wife phoned a week ahead of my arrival, and let the folks know I was looking specifically for Petit Verdot. On the phone it was like "sure, come right in".
It was really rainy the day I arrived, so just getting there was a bit of a chore. When I walked in, I was NOT greeted warmly. The girl behind the desk was reading a book and seemed bothered that I arrived. She then explained that Petit Verdot was only available to their wine club members. Gosh I wish we would have heard that before I made the trek in the rain!
I left shortly after. When I turned around, the girl resumed reading her book.
By the way, my wife and I were there with a few friends years before and it was a much better experience. This is what I expected on this trip. So it was a real disappointment...
As the owner of a company myself, I know that sometimes it takes a while to bring new people up to speed. The folks at Gundlach Bundshu seem like good family-oriented people. And there are many positive reviews here. I guess this was just not my lucky day at this location...
翻译:我妻子在我到达前一周打来电话,告诉他们我特别想品尝小维铎葡萄酒。电话里说“当然,请进来”。
我到达的那天下着大雨,所以光是到达那里就有点麻烦。当我走进去时,并没有人热情地迎接我。桌子后面的女孩正在看书,似乎对我的到来感到不快。然后她解释说,小维铎葡萄酒只对他们的葡萄酒俱乐部成员开放。天哪,真希望在我冒雨跋涉之前能听到这个消息!
我很快就离开了。当我转过身时,那个女孩又开始看她的书了。
顺便说一句,我和妻子几年前和几个朋友一起去过那里,那次经历要好得多。这就是我这次旅行所期望的。所以这真是令人失望……
作为一家公司的老板,我知道有时需要一段时间才能让新人适应。Gundlach Bundshu 的员工看起来都是以家庭为重的好人。这里有很多正面评价。我想今天只是我在这个地方运气不好……
