点评:Decided to see what the winery situation was in this area and visited three wineries. The Blue Ostrich offers a very high-quality facility. Surprised to see the tasting room so small, which is why virtually everyone is then escorted to more restaurant like area to be seated for a tasting. This location is quite nice and offered a suitable selection of snacks and small means to go along with the wine. We ordered the charcuterie, which was well done. We also had a savory baguette and schmear. Also very tasty.
For the wine tasting, you can do three different flights – white, red and sweet. Having gone to scores of wineries around the world, I am always disappointed when the wine tastings are these kinds of prearranged flights. I vastly prefer it when you can merely select the wines you want, and if that is a combination of some of each kind so be it. This approach kind of forces you into more flights than you might want to do to get a broad sampling. I would say 80% of the wineries visited around the world offer the guest selects, not the preset. For that reason, we had all three fights. Perhaps just not our taste, but there was only one wine I would buy and that is the Sun Kissed. The others that were good, but just not good enough for me to buy because I have better examples already in my wine collection were the Montepulciano and the Tannat.
So, overall, nice place, good enough wine, well presented food and the service was excellent. And yes, thee are ostriches to visit.

对于葡萄酒品尝,你可以品尝三种不同的葡萄酒——白葡萄酒、红葡萄酒和甜葡萄酒。我去过世界各地的几十家酿酒厂,当葡萄酒品尝是这种预先安排好的品尝时,我总是很失望。我非常喜欢你可以只选择你想要的葡萄酒,如果那是每种葡萄酒的组合,那就这样吧。这种方法有点迫使你品尝比你想要的更多的葡萄酒,以获得广泛的样品。我想说,全世界 80% 的酒庄都提供客人精选酒,而不是预设酒。因此,我们进行了三次争吵。也许只是不符合我们的口味,但我只会买一种酒,那就是 Sun Kissed。其他酒也不错,但还不够好,因为我的葡萄酒收藏中已经有更好的例子了,那就是 Montepulciano 和 Tannat。
所以,总的来说,这个地方不错,酒也不错,食物摆盘精美,服务也很好。是的,参观这里真是太有趣了。
