点评:The winery and its tasting room are a short drive outside Lubbock. If you're coming here to drink, you will want a responsible driver. There's no Uber.
I paid $35 for a tasting of dry white wines: chardonnay, pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, a white blend, roussanne, and gewürztraminer. 1 ounce pours.
It was an average wine tasting from an experience standpoint. The sauvignon blanc, roussanne, and gewürztraminer were their best. The chardonnay and pinot grigio are not produced in whole or part from Texas grapes. The appellation or AVA is simply "American chardonnay." They were cheap-tasting and not particularly great. The sauvignon blanc, roussanne, and gewürztraminer are produced from Texas grapes at a single vineyard. Much, much better quality. I really wanted to try the dry riesling but it wasn't available for the tasting.
The staff member was pleasant but didn't seem terribly knowledge beyond whatever he'd memorized.
They had cheese plates with two or three cheeses, olives, pecans, and cold cuts available at an additional charge.
Given the lack of any restaurants nearby, it would be nice if they had a more extensive food menu.
If I had a complaint, they are offering too many varietals. This is evident in wines like the chardonnay, which aren't produced from Texas grapes. I would rather them specialize in a couple of varietals that thrive in Texas.
翻译:酒庄及其品酒室距离拉伯克只有很短的车程。如果你来这里喝酒,你会想要一个负责任的司机。这里没有 Uber。
我花了 35 美元品尝了干白葡萄酒:霞多丽、灰比诺、白苏维浓、白混合酒、胡珊和琼瑶浆。每杯 1 盎司。
从体验的角度来看,这是一次普通的品酒。白苏维浓、胡珊和琼瑶浆是最好的。霞多丽和灰比诺不是全部或部分由德克萨斯葡萄酿造的。产地名称或 AVA 只是“美国霞多丽”。它们味道便宜,也不是特别好。白苏维浓、胡珊和琼瑶浆都是用德克萨斯葡萄在一个葡萄园酿造的。品质好得多。我真的很想尝尝干雷司令,但品尝时没有。
工作人员很友善,但似乎除了记住的东西之外,知识并不丰富。
他们提供奶酪拼盘,里面有两三种奶酪、橄榄、山核桃和冷盘,需额外收费。
鉴于附近没有餐厅,如果他们有更丰富的菜单就好了。
如果要抱怨的话,他们提供的品种太多了。这在霞多丽等葡萄酒中很明显,这些葡萄酒不是用德克萨斯葡萄酿造的。我宁愿他们专注于几种在德克萨斯州茁壮成长的品种。
