点评:We caught Pine Ridge on a busy Tuesday. While it had 2 delightful greeters, there was only one wine host who was slow getting around the tables, in part because he enjoyed speaking about his own Wine experiences, for example, traveling with his wife to vineyards in France. That behaviour is probably OK when there are an adequate number of hosts but seemed insensitive when it meant that people like us were ignored for too long. We left halfway through the tasting and a concerned greeter offered to do something for us, but our time was up. We did not get to the super expensive Cabernets but did note that Wine Spectator ratings did not justify the prices of those wines. A Pine Ridge Cabernet with a Napa designation gets the same rating as the expensive narrower designations and costs way less than them, but is not offered at the winery.
We have visited at least 100 wineries in Napa Sonoma and are confounded that this Winery ends up with the highest rating on Tripadvisor.
翻译:我们在一个繁忙的周二造访了Pine Ridge酒庄。虽然那里有两位热情好客的服务员,但只有一位品酒引导员。他巡视各个桌子的速度较慢,部分原因是他喜欢谈论自己的品酒经历,比如和妻子一起到法国的葡萄园旅行。在服务人员充足的情况下,这种行为或许无伤大雅;但当它导致像我们这样的顾客长时间被冷落时,就显得有些漠不关心了。我们在品酒环节进行到一半时离开了,一位热心的工作人员主动提出要为我们做些什么,但我们的时间已经用完了。我们没能品尝到那些价格极其昂贵的赤霞珠葡萄酒,不过也注意到《Wine Spectator》的评分并不能证明这些酒的定价合理。一款产自纳帕地区、由Pine Ridge酒庄出品的赤霞珠葡萄酒,其评分与那些价格昂贵的、产地标注更为具体的葡萄酒相当,但其价格却要低得多;可惜的是,这款酒在该酒庄并未出售。我们参观过纳帕和索诺玛地区至少100家酒庄,但令我们困惑的是,这家酒庄竟在Tripadvisor上获得了最高评分。
