点评:We were enjoying an afternoon of wine tasting in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area and were referred to Big Head due to their dry wines.
After having been to two other wineries with good wine and excellent staff, we were very disappointed with Big Head. It was clear the staff didn't want to be there and didn't like their jobs.
The gentleman who helped us at the stand-up tasting area clearly had better things to do. We tried to engage him in conversation, but this was a dead end.
He quickly set up the glasses and immediately began listing a litany of information about each wine as fast as possible. My husband had gone to the rest room and I had to ask the employee to wait until he got back.
Instead of pouring the wine, describing it and letting us try, he poured all tastings, spit out the details and stood back with a bored look on his face. When I asked him to repeat the information, about the particular wine we were trying at the moment, we got a big sigh and the information rattled off as if he were being timed. He had no other customers at the bar.
He was also very difficult to understand and used verbiage we've never heard before. We had to ask what he meant. We've wine tasted for years all over the country and this was the worst.
We didn't end up buying any bottled wine. This was a very poor experience all around. A big part of wine tasting is the hospitality. Even so-so wine can be sold by a friendly, enthusiastic employee. We didn't find any such employees here.
翻译:我们当时正在尼亚加拉湖畔地区享受一下午的品酒时光,有人推荐我们去Big Head酒庄,因为他们的干型葡萄酒不错。
在去过另外两家酒庄,他们的葡萄酒品质好,员工也优秀,但我们对Big Head酒庄非常失望。很明显,那里的员工不想待在那里,也不喜欢自己的工作。
在站立式品酒区帮我们服务的那位先生显然有更重要的事情要做。我们试图和他攀谈,但毫无进展。
他迅速摆好酒杯,然后开始以最快的速度一一列举每种葡萄酒的信息。我丈夫去洗手间了,我不得不请工作人员等他回来。
他没有倒酒、描述酒品,也没有让我们品尝,而是把所有品酒都倒了,然后吐出所有细节,然后一脸无聊地退后一步。当我请他复述一下我们当时正在品尝的那款葡萄酒的信息时,他长叹一口气,然后像在计时一样滔滔不绝地说着。酒吧里没有其他客人。
他的话也很难听懂,还说了一些我们从未听过的废话。我们不得不问他是什么意思。我们多年来在全国各地品尝过葡萄酒,这次是最糟糕的一次。
我们最终一瓶酒都没买。总的来说,这是一次非常糟糕的体验。品酒很重要的一点就是热情好客。即使是马马虎虎的葡萄酒,也可能有友好热情的员工售卖。我们在这里没有遇到这样的员工。
