Good wines, good gardens, and much more.
Brianza Gardens and Winery的点评
点评:We like to visit vineyard/wineries, and so far we've diligently tasted flights at over 100 of them. So far, our 2024 travels unfortunately took us to more disappointing ones than otherwise--so I'm happy to report that Brianza started a new good streak.
I would not have suspected that Crittenden KY would have such an ambitious facility as this. The extensive vineyard grounds contain not only a very nice, high-occupancy tasting room, but they also offer lodgings and an event center. The "gardens" part of the name is well deserved, with the grounds tastefully landscaped and well maintained.
We got two tasting flights, one whites and one reds, and enjoyed the agreeable weather on their patio. As usually happens, most of their varieties were not to my taste--your taste no doubt is different from mine--most of their wines had a sharp, acidic taste. But there was one white, their Vidal Blanc, that pleased me--interestingly ascerbic and complex like the author Gore Vidal! Among the reds, the Italian Stallion blend was pleasing. So we found a couple of bottles worthy of taking home and using at a nice supper.
As a bonus, they keep a couple of very friendly, well behaved Spaniels. A good dog or two is always a plus for a vineyard.
Overall the experience was so enjoyable that I'm wondering if we want to do an overnight here sometime.
翻译:我们喜欢参观葡萄园/酿酒厂,到目前为止,我们已经认真品尝了 100 多个酒庄的葡萄酒。到目前为止,不幸的是,我们的 2024 年旅行带我们去的酒庄比其他旅行更令人失望——所以我很高兴地报告,Brianza 开始了新的好运。
我不会想到肯塔基州克里滕登会有如此雄心勃勃的设施。广阔的葡萄园不仅包含一个非常漂亮、入住率高的品酒室,而且还提供住宿和活动中心。名称中的“花园”部分是当之无愧的,场地景观优美,维护良好。
我们品尝了两杯葡萄酒,一杯白葡萄酒和一杯红葡萄酒,并在他们的露台上享受宜人的天气。通常情况下,他们的大多数品种都不合我的口味——你的口味无疑与我的不同——他们的大多数葡萄酒都有一种尖锐的酸味。但是有一款白葡萄酒,他们的 Vidal Blanc,让我很满意——有趣的是,它像作家戈尔·维达尔一样酸涩而复杂!在红葡萄酒中,意大利种马混合酒令人愉悦。所以我们找到了几瓶值得带回家并在一顿美味的晚餐中饮用的葡萄酒。
作为额外福利,他们养了几只非常友好、行为良好的西班牙猎犬。一两只好狗对葡萄园来说总是一件好事。
总的来说,这次经历非常愉快,我想知道我们是否想在这里过夜。
