点评:We'd passed by Pebble Rock on 290 in Johnson City several times on our way to Fredericksburg, but never thought to stop. Their location isn't near the cluster of wineries between JC and F'burg, so it's missed by many. During our Advance Texas Wine Ambassador class Pebble Rock was mention several times. So the next we decided to stop by see what we'd been missing.
They advertise by appointment only, we didn't have an appointment but decide to take our chances. Turns out we were able to slip into an empty slot between two other tasting. Rob and Lydia (husband and wife owners) were very welcoming and we started our tasting immediately. Rob shared his knowledge of Texas wines for about 45 minutes. We walked away with some of Rob's great insight on his wines as well as the surrounding wine country. It's a very intimate tasting in warm setting; nothing like the BIG tasting rooms being shared by 100+ people in a very commercial setting!
We picked up a bottle of their 2021 Teroldego after tasting their making of this relative new grape to Texas wines.
翻译:在前往弗雷德里克斯堡的途中,我们多次经过约翰逊城290号公路上的Pebble Rock酒庄,但从未想过要停下来参观。它的位置并不在约翰逊城和弗雷德里克斯堡之间的那些酒庄聚集区附近,因此很多人都会错过它。在我们参加的“德克萨斯州葡萄酒大使进阶课程”中,Pebble Rock被多次提及。于是下次我们决定特意绕道去看看自己一直错过的这个地方。
他们声明仅接受预约参观,虽然我们没有预约,但还是决定试一试运气。结果我们恰好赶上了两个品酒环节之间的空档期。罗布和莉迪亚(夫妻俩,酒庄主人)非常热情好客,我们立刻就开始了品酒。罗布花了大约45分钟来分享他对德州葡萄酒的见解。我们带走了许多关于他的葡萄酒以及周边葡萄酒产区的宝贵信息。这是一个氛围温馨且极为私密的品酒体验;完全不同于那种有上百人共同参与的、充满商业气息的大型品酒室啊!在品尝了他们用这种对德克萨斯州葡萄酒而言相对较新品种的葡萄所酿造的酒之后,我们买了一瓶他们出品的2021年份的特罗尔德戈葡萄酒。
