点评:We had an absolutely amazing visit! We stayed at a nearby hotel and walked over for the 7 pm tasting, which we knew was in Spanish. When we arrived, I explained to the woman who greeted us that I spoke/understood Spanish and could translate for the rest of our party of four if she spoke slowly. She said no need and called in her husband who conducted the tour and tasting for us in English. Even though they were still in harvest season and had a lot of work to do, they made us feel so welcome. We had such a fun time! We enjoyed learning all about the origin of Ribera del Duero, the soils, how the grapes are grown and selected, and each step of the wine making process. The owner then tasted the wines with us, explained the nuances and what food to enjoy them with. He spent so much time with us that we felt like old friends at the end of the visit. Imagine our surprise when we went to purchase their wines and saw how low the prices were -- wow what a value! These wines would retain in the US for at least three times their price. If we make it back to Ribera again, we will definitely visit Baden Numen again. It was our absolute favorite of the eight bodegas that we visited.
翻译:我们的参观体验简直棒极了!我们住在附近的酒店,然后步行前往参加晚上7点的品酒会,事先知道讲解是用西班牙语进行的。到达后,我向接待我们的女士说明,我会说也能听懂西班牙语,如果她讲得慢一些,我可以为同行的另外三人做翻译。但她说不必了,接着叫来了她的丈夫。他用英语为我们导览并讲解了品酒过程。当时他们正处于收获季,工作十分繁忙,但却让我们感受到了无微不至的款待。我们度过了极其愉快的时光!我们兴致勃勃地了解了里贝拉德尔杜埃罗产区的起源、土壤特性、葡萄的种植与挑选方式,以及葡萄酒酿造的每一个环节。随后,酒庄主人与我们一起品酒,详细解释了各种葡萄酒的细微差别以及适合搭配的食物。他与我们畅谈许久,以至于参观结束时我们感觉就像老朋友一般。当我们后来去购买这些葡萄酒时,看到价格如此亲民,真是惊喜不已——性价比简直高得惊人!这些葡萄酒在美国的售价至少能达到其实际价格的三倍。如果我们下次再去里贝拉地区,一定还会造访巴登·努门酒庄。在我们参观过的八家酒庄中,它绝对是我们的最爱。
