点评:One of my best friends and I had such a great time when Paul planned our private wine tasting/tour for her birthday 2 years ago, I immediately thought of Paul for a girls getaway event in Santa Barbara this October. There were four of us celebrating a retirement and Paul, once again, did not disappoint and exceeded expectations. He planned everything for private tastings at three amazing wineries, gourmet lunch, picked us up at our hotel and toured us around while sharing history of the Santa Barbara AVA. Everyone in our party appreciates high quality wines, and the wineries Paul picked exceeded expectations and then some. We started out at a Tuscan style estate vineyard where we tasted wines including some directly from the barrel, headed to our second winery with rich history and a casual but beautiful outdoor setting where we also had a gourmet lunch (wonderful hearty salads, charcuterie, freshly baked breads, etc. coordinated by Paul) then finished at an industrial winery with incredible wines and discussions with a super taster wine maker. Each of these winery visits offered us incredible, highly rated wines, but a different experience at each, which we loved!!! Everyone in our group kept telling me "this was a perfect day"...and it really was. All four of us purchased wines from each of the wineries we visited (always a good sign)! When I visit again, I know I'll be reaching out to Paul for another wine tour excursion. Thanks again, Paul. See you next time!
翻译:两年前,我最好的朋友之一保罗为她策划了一场私人品酒/葡萄酒之旅,我们玩得非常开心。我立刻就想到了今年十月在圣巴巴拉举办的女生度假活动,邀请保罗参加。我们四个人庆祝退休,保罗再一次没有让我们失望,超出了预期。他安排了一切,在三家很棒的酒庄进行了私人品酒,准备了美味的午餐,还到酒店接我们,带我们参观了酒庄,并向我们讲述了圣巴巴拉AVA的历史。我们一行人都欣赏高品质的葡萄酒,保罗挑选的酒庄超出了预期,甚至超出了我们的预期。我们首先从一家托斯卡纳风格的庄园葡萄园开始,在那里品尝了一些葡萄酒,包括一些直接从橡木桶中采摘的葡萄酒。之后,我们前往了第二家历史悠久、户外环境休闲优美的酒庄,在那里我们还享用了美味的午餐(由保罗精心策划的丰盛沙拉、熟食、新鲜出炉的面包等)。最后,我们来到了一家工业化酒庄,品尝了令人赞叹的葡萄酒,并与一位超级品酒师进行了交流。每次酒庄之旅都让我们品尝到令人惊艳、评价极高的葡萄酒,但每次的体验都截然不同,我们非常喜欢!我们团里的每个人都不停地跟我说“这真是完美的一天”……事实也的确如此。我们四个人都从参观的每一家酒庄买了葡萄酒(这总是个好兆头)!下次我再来的时候,我知道我会联系保罗,安排另一次葡萄酒之旅。再次感谢保罗。下次再见!
