点评:Beautiful winery, off the beaten track. It was a chilly day and we loved that fireplace. Great Pinots and chardonnays. ( And a Methode Champenoise) What made the real difference for us was the wine expert that oversaw our tasting. We live in SB County and have visited a lot of tasting rooms. Too often the experience vacillates between someone tired of saying the same old spiel or someone that thinks you should be genuflecting at the honour of them speaking to you. However, at Sanford, we were lucky enough to run into Connor who was plain excited to share his extensive knowledge with us. Frankly, it was infectious. Connor turned the potentially mundane into the scintillating. I wish every vineyard had a Connor, but very few do. I loved that he did not force his tasting notes on us, but guided us to experience the wines in ways that made sense to us. There are many great wines out there, but few great wine tasting experiences. Go to Sanford and make sure that Connor is running your tasting. -I’ll feel your joy from miles away! :)
翻译:美丽的酒庄,远离喧嚣。那天很冷,我们很喜欢那个壁炉。很棒的黑皮诺和霞多丽。(还有法香槟)真正让我们与众不同的是监督我们品酒的葡萄酒专家。我们住在 SB 县,参观过很多品酒室。体验往往在厌倦了说同样老套话的人和认为你应该对他们和你说话的荣誉表示敬意的人之间摇摆不定。然而,在桑福德,我们很幸运地遇到了康纳,他非常兴奋地与我们分享他的广博知识。坦率地说,这是有感染力的。康纳把可能平淡无奇的事情变成了令人眼花缭乱的事情。我希望每个葡萄园都有康纳,但很少有人这样做。我喜欢他没有强迫我们接受他的品酒笔记,而是引导我们以我们能理解的方式品尝葡萄酒。世界上有很多好酒,但很少有很棒的品酒体验。去桑福德,确保康纳正在主持你的品酒会。——我会在千里之外感受到你的快乐!:)
