点评:We visited Lakeview on the 4th of July after making several calls before our trip to Canada to reserve a vineyard, with no luck. First, Lakeview actually answered the phone, and second, they had availability for our group of nine, which included five children and four adults.
I am so happy Lakeview was the place we visited. It was such a wonderful experience. Our server, Michael, was an absolute angel. He was so kind to our kids and incredibly sweet and generous to us. I had to give him a big hug before we left.
The four of us did a wine tasting, and I loved how we marked our selections on a laminated menu (Long Island, NY vineyards need to start implementing this idea). Each of our four choices was served in the order we selected them. Michael made some excellent recommendations. His favorite wine ended up being my favorite as well, and I purchased a bottle to take home.
We also ordered the charcuterie board, which was delicious. We ended up ordering three rounds of the pretzel with cheese sauce because the kids enjoyed it so much.
We sat out front. There is also a beautiful indoor space and a lovely backyard seating area, but the front benches were the best fit for us with the kids. They were able to play ball and roll around on the grass while we relaxed and enjoyed a few glasses of wine.
The location is beautiful, and I am so glad the other wineries never answered our calls because it led us to Lakeview. Also, be sure to get the toffee chocolate. It is absolutely delicious. Most of all, our experience was as wonderful as it was because of Michael.
翻译:7月4日那天,我们去了Lakeview酒庄。出发前,我们打了好几个电话想预订酒庄,但都没成功。首先,Lakeview居然接了电话;其次,他们正好有空位,可以接待我们一行九人,包括五个孩子和四个大人。
我真庆幸我们最终选择了Lakeview。那真是一次美妙的体验。我们的服务员Michael简直就是个天使。他对孩子们非常友善,对我们大人也热情周到。离开前,我忍不住给了他一个大大的拥抱。
我们四个人品尝了葡萄酒,我特别喜欢他们把我们点的酒都标记在塑封菜单上的方式(纽约长岛的酒庄应该也开始采用这种方式)。我们点的酒都按照我们选择的顺序上桌。Michael的推荐非常棒。他最喜欢的酒最后也成了我的最爱,我还买了一瓶带回家。
我们还点了熟食拼盘,味道也很棒。因为孩子们太喜欢椒盐脆饼配奶酪酱了,我们最后点了三份。
我们坐在前面。这里也有漂亮的室内空间和宜人的后院座位区,但带着孩子的话,前面的长椅最适合我们。孩子们可以在草地上玩球、打滚,而我们则可以放松地喝几杯葡萄酒。
这里风景优美,我很庆幸其他酒庄都没接我们的电话,不然我们可能就找不到这家湖景酒庄了。对了,一定要尝尝太妃巧克力,绝对美味。最重要的是,我们这次的体验如此美好,全靠迈克尔的安排。
