点评:A few weeks ago we had friends visiting from the Bay Area. They are BIG wine folk (esp. ports) and we toured several of the SLO county wineries to all our delight... except one. I told them that our hands down FAVORITE port was from Justin and we decided to make the trek out to their winery... only to be told by their staff that they do not do tastings for their port (nor their "Sunny's Block"... also a personal fav). "Okay, no problem, we'll just buy a few bottles of each." At which time we were told that they don't sell them to the public... at their chef's edict... and there was nothing they could do for us. I pointed out that I thought this was very odd... as both are currently available for purchase online. The staff was surprised by this, but said that their hands where tied.
Well... we'll never make the trip out to Justin, nor buy any of their products, ever again. So, we'll now be getting our port from Opolo Vineyards (who also have a wonderful port... and are much more customer centered.. opolo.com)
翻译:几周前,有朋友从湾区来拜访我们。他们可是葡萄酒行家,尤其钟爱波特酒。我们一起游览了圣路易斯奥比斯波县的几家酒庄,大家都乐在其中……只有一家除外。我告诉他们,我们最喜欢的波特酒出自Justin酒庄,于是我们决定专程去那里参观……结果酒庄工作人员告诉我们,他们不提供波特酒的品鉴服务(连我们个人也很喜欢的“Sunny's Block”这款酒也不提供)。“没关系,那我们就买几瓶每种酒好了。”“当时我们被告知,按照主厨的指示,他们并不向普通顾客出售这些酒……他们也无能为力。我指出这很奇怪……因为这两款酒目前都可以在网上买到。工作人员对此感到惊讶,但表示他们也无可奈何。
嗯……我们以后再也不会去Justin酒庄,也绝不会购买他们的任何产品了。今后我们会从Opolo Vineyards购买波特酒(他们的波特酒也相当不错……而且更加注重以客户为中心.. opolo.com)。
