点评:We had the most lovely time at Frank Family Vineyards yesterday. The wine was excellent. We took a break from all the Napa Cab and went with the Pinot and Chardonnay flight. What a great choice!
Antonio brought us out at least three wines before we even got to the actual menu of tasting flight. The blanc de blanc was amazing! In Napa, I expect the wine to be good and it was - the Carneros coastal Pinot was excellent. In spite of the delicious wine, Antonio made the experience…to be Frank 😆. He was so approachable that, at first, I wondered if he knew much about wine. He quickly proved me wrong but in such a wonderful way. He made understanding wine, terroir, and climate approachable. I’m no novice when it comes to wine or Napa, but he shared some very unique pairings I had never heard of and can’t wait to try…champagne and fried chicken!
On top of all that, he gave us a very heartfelt and special thank you for my wife’s decades of military service. Honestly I was touched. Can’t wait to come back and visit Frank Family Vineyards!!!
翻译:昨天我们在Frank Family Vineyards度过了非常愉快的时光。那里的葡萄酒品质一流。我们暂时放下了纳帕产区的赤霞珠,转而品尝了黑皮诺和霞多丽葡萄酒。真是个绝佳的选择!
在我们看到正式的品酒菜单之前,安东尼奥就给我们介绍了至少三种葡萄酒。那款白中白起泡酒简直棒极了!在纳帕,我本就期待能喝到好酒,而这款产自卡内罗斯地区的海岸风土黑皮诺也确实出色。尽管葡萄酒美味无比,但真正让这次体验变得“独具Frank特色”的,还是安东尼奥本人呢 😆。他为人极其平易近人,起初我还怀疑他是否真的懂酒。不过他很快就用一种极棒的方式证明了我错了。他让人们能够轻松理解葡萄酒、风土环境以及气候对葡萄酒的影响。虽然我在葡萄酒和纳帕谷方面算不上新手,但他分享了一些我闻所未闻的绝佳配餐组合,让我迫不及待想要尝试——比如香槟配炸鸡!
除此之外,他还特意对我妻子数十年来的军旅服务表达了诚挚而特别的谢意。说实话,我深受感动。迫不及待想再次去参观弗兰克家族葡萄园!!!
