点评:What a find! We visited Maysara Winery largely through happenstance: We were nearby while traveling from the coast to Portland. It had a 4.7 rating from TripAdvisor users. And unlike some Willamette Valley wineries, it was open on a Tuesday. The family has a fascinating backstory. It has lovely shaded tables and chairs for tasting outside as well as an indoor tasting room. Best of all, their wines — red and white — are terrific. They offer two tasting flights. My wife got one and I got the other, and we shared. The wines are mostly Pinot-based. The winery practices a type of organic (called biodynamic) viticulture (they’ll tell you all about it). Wild turkeys roam the hundreds of acres of vineyards, eating pesky bugs. We all especially loved the Pinot blanc, and our friend and I agreed to buy a case and have it shipped back home. The Pinot blanc was just $22 a bottle, and with our order we got our tasting fee waived plus 10% discount for ordering a case, which helped cover the cost of shipping. Interestingly, they monitor weather conditions and offer to not ship when temps are so high as to damage the wine when a customer uses ground shipping. I’d rate this a 10/10 experience.
翻译:真是个惊喜!我们偶然发现了梅萨拉酒庄 (Maysara Winery):我们从海岸前往波特兰途中,正好在附近。这家酒庄在 TripAdvisor 用户中的评分为 4.7。而且与威拉米特谷 (Willamette Valley) 的一些酒庄不同,它周二开放。酒庄家族有着一段引人入胜的故事。酒庄设有舒适的遮阳桌椅,可供户外品酒,也设有室内品酒室。最棒的是,他们的红葡萄酒和白葡萄酒都非常棒。他们提供两种品酒套餐。我妻子点了一份,我点了另一份,我们分享着。这些葡萄酒大多以黑皮诺 (Pinot) 为主。酒庄采用一种有机(称为生物动力)葡萄栽培技术(他们会告诉你所有相关信息)。野生火鸡在数百英亩的葡萄园里漫步,吃着讨厌的虫子。我们都特别喜欢这里的白皮诺葡萄酒,我和朋友同意买一箱寄回家。白皮诺每瓶仅售22美元,我们点了酒,免了品酒费,还享受了整箱订购的九折优惠,这还算能帮我们省下运费。有趣的是,他们会监测天气状况,如果顾客选择陆运,气温过高会损坏葡萄酒,他们就会拒绝发货。我给这次体验打满分。
