点评:I have no idea why this place gets such good accolades. Maybe the people going here have never had wine before? This was an absolutely horrendous experience. I will begin by telling you that this man served us bad wine. Not just wine that didn’t taste good, wine that had turned. It was literally brown in the glass. He did not taste it before he gave it to us, and when I told him that I thought it was bad, he treated me like I was stupid. He treated our whole group like we were idiots. I assure you, we are not stupid and I think we know more about wine than this man does. I could go on and on about how awful this experience is. In retrospect, I wish I had gotten up and left after 10 minutes, but it did not seem possible to get out of there.
our cheese pairing that he told me about on the phone is actually two cheese sticks in plastic wrapping, one of them being cheap pepper jack which completely overshadows almost any wine.
We were horrified at the way he talked down to us and treated us. He is a grumpy old man who thinks that he is better than all of the wonderful wineries and the rest of Sonoma county.
You will waste half of a precious wine country day going here. It is 20 minutes up the side of a mountain through three electric security gates to finally reach a metal shack. Your wine tasting will take place at a small table inside this metal shack with no views and nothing except bad wine and cheese wrapped in plastic.
The only plus that I can tell you, is that we have a good story to tell and the views on the way up are quite pretty.
翻译:我完全不明白为什么这家店能获得这么高的评价。也许来这里的顾客从来没喝过好酒吧?这次经历简直糟糕透顶。首先,那个男服务员给我们上了变质的葡萄酒——不是那种味道不好的酒,而是已经变质的酒。酒液在杯子里都呈棕色了。他递给我们之前居然都没尝过;当我告诉他我觉得酒坏了时,他竟把我当傻子看待。他对待我们整个团体也就像对待白痴一样。我向您保证,我们并不愚蠢,而且我觉得我们对葡萄酒的了解比这个人要多得多。关于这次糟糕的经历,我可以滔滔不绝地说上一整天。现在回想起来,我真希望自己在10分钟后就起身离开,但当时似乎根本无法从那里脱身。
他在电话里跟我提到的所谓的“奶酪搭配”,其实不过是两根用塑料包装纸包着的奶酪棒,其中一根还是廉价的胡椒杰克奶酪——这种奶酪的味道之浓烈,几乎能盖过任何葡萄酒的风味。他居高临下地对我们说话、对待我们的方式让我们感到震惊。他是个脾气暴躁的老头,自以为比索诺玛县所有优秀的酒庄都优越。
在这里你会浪费掉在葡萄酒产区一整天中宝贵的半天时间。需要先开车20分钟沿山路前行,穿过三道电子安检门后,才能抵达一座金属小屋。您的品酒活动将在这个金属小棚屋内的小桌旁进行——那里看不到任何风景,只有劣质的葡萄酒以及用塑料纸包裹着的奶酪而已。
我唯一能告诉您的好处就是:我们有个不错的故事可以讲述,而且上山沿途的景色相当优美。
