点评:Story Winery was a fascinating visit. The winery was founded in 1973, but it is surrounded by one of the oldest vineyards in the area (dating back to 1894) and 300-year-old oak trees. Located above the middle fork of the Cosumnes River valley, the tasting room enjoys panoramic views of the Cosumnes River Canyon. We met Giorgi, who is a Georgian immigrant, and he told us about the Georgian character of the winery. About half the wines we tried were actually produced in Georgia and shipped to the USA. Some of their amber wines might be called orange wines, but these were much better than orange wines we’ve had before. We spent a long time discussing amphorae (Qvevri), wine history, native grapes, life, the universe, and everything. We met Simba, a large friendly Rottweiler who loved being scratched. We finished the wine tasting with a shot of vodka made from grapes. A great visit!
翻译:参观Story酒庄真是一次有趣的体验。该酒庄创立于1973年,但其周围环绕着该地区最古老的葡萄园之一(可追溯到1894年),还有树龄达300年的橡树。酒庄坐落于科苏姆尼斯河中游河谷之上,品酒室可俯瞰整个科苏姆尼斯河峡谷的壮丽景色。我们遇到了乔治,他是一位格鲁吉亚移民,他向我们介绍了这家酒庄所具备的格鲁吉亚特色。我们试饮的葡萄酒中,大约一半实际上是在格鲁吉亚酿造后运往美国的。其中一些琥珀色葡萄酒或许可以被称作“橙酒”,但它们的品质远比我们以前喝过的橙酒要好得多。我们花了很长时间谈论双耳瓶(Qvevri)、葡萄酒的历史、当地的葡萄品种,还有生活、宇宙乃至一切事物。我们还遇到了辛巴——一只体型庞大又友善的罗威纳犬,它特别喜欢让人挠痒痒。最后,我们以一杯用葡萄酿造的伏特加来结束这次品酒之旅。真是一次美妙的体验!
