点评:Cline is still a family owner winery. A rarity in today's market. They have an excellent variety of wines and very knowledgeable servers in their tasting room. The tasting fee is very fair and you can simply purchase a generous pour for $14 and wander the grounds. Our server was Chandler and he took great care of us. Picnic items are available to buy on site and there is ample seating areas on the grounds along with 4 ponds with fish, ducks and turtles. A small pen in the back has donkeys for the kids to interact with.
Cline has a great reputation and is located in an area of Sonoma County that get cool breezes from the San Francisco Bay, which makes picnics very pleasant on the grounds of this winery.
Cline produces some wines that others have ignored or forgotten about. My favorite is Ancient Vines Carignane- brought to California by Europeans coming to the gold fields in the mid-1800's. Over time it became viewed as a poor persons wine or simply a "filler grape" in bulk production. However, Cline has it as it was originally meant to be and it is very good!

克莱恩酒庄口碑极佳,坐落于索诺玛县一处能吹到旧金山湾凉风的地区,因此在这家酒庄的庭院里野餐格外惬意。
克莱恩酒庄酿制着一些被其他人忽视或遗忘的葡萄酒。我最喜欢的是“Ancient Vines Carignane”——这种葡萄是由19世纪中叶前往加州淘金的欧洲人引入的。随着时间的推移,它逐渐被视作一种穷人喝的葡萄酒,或者只是在大规模生产中用来“凑数”的葡萄品种。不过,克莱恩酒庄将其按照最初的初衷来酿造,品质相当出色!
