点评:We arrived in Plymouth much earlier than expected--two hours ahead of our scheduled appointment at Sobon Estate. However, the winery was able to accommodate us and we proceeded to have a very pleasant tasting of eight of their wines, including unusual ones like Viognier and Tannat. Sobon is a nice family winery that is now into its third generation and produces great wines. Our host Bob was friendly and informative. There has been a winery in this location since 1854 and the old cellar (dug into a hillside) is now a small museum. In addition to the old casks, the museum showcases artifacts from the the original family who founded the winery: pieces of old wine making and farming equipment, and even a 1910-vintage washing machine. The Sobon family also owns Shenandoah Vineyards; when you pay the $5 tasting fee at one, you receive a complimentary tasting at the other.
翻译:我们比预期提前很多抵达了普利茅斯——比原定在索邦酒庄的预约时间早了两个小时。不过,酒庄方面欣然接纳了我们,我们得以品尝到他们出产的八款葡萄酒,其中包括维欧尼耶和塔纳特这类较为少见的品种。索邦是一家经营得不错的家族式酒庄,如今已传到第三代,出品的葡萄酒品质上乘。接待我们的鲍勃热情友善且知识渊博。自1854年起,这里便有酒庄存在。原先的酒窖是在山坡上开凿而成的,如今则变成了一座小型博物馆。除了古老的酒桶外,博物馆还陈列着酒庄创始家族留下的各种遗物:老式的酿酒与农用工具,甚至还有一台1910年制造的洗衣机。索邦家族同时也是谢南多厄葡萄园的所有者;只要支付5美元的品酒费,即可在两家酒庄免费品酒。
