点评:My partner and I went to Sandbanks Estate Winery for a late fall tasting, while on a short visit to Toronto, and it was well worth the 2+ hour drive. Our hostess, Suzanne, was an outstanding guide to the Estate's wines, and we spent a wonderful hour or so, talking wines and tasting some of the outstanding presentations that Sandbanks had to offer. My taste and my partner's taste in wines are completely different. But Suzanne was able based on our description of our likes, to recommend wines that would please each of us. But most importantly, I have to compliment the winery on the quality of their product. In the US, we rarely, if ever, hear of quality Canadian wines. But after tasting Sandbank's offerings, I have to say that they rival anything I have tasted from the upstate NY wine region, which I also regard as of very high quality. While it was quite quiet in mid-November, I can imagine that there would be quite a large following during the warmer months, so I would certainly suggest making reservations, if you want to taste some really exceptional wines during the summer!
翻译:我和伴侣在多伦多短暂逗留期间,前往桑德班克斯酒庄(Sandbanks Estate Winery)参加了一场秋末品酒会,两个多小时的车程绝对物超所值。我们的主人苏珊娜(Suzanne)是一位出色的向导,她为我们详细介绍了酒庄的葡萄酒,我们度过了一个美好的小时,一边品鉴美酒,一边畅谈葡萄酒。我和伴侣的口味截然不同,但苏珊娜能够根据我们对各自喜好的描述,推荐出适合我们俩的葡萄酒。最重要的是,我必须赞扬酒庄的葡萄酒品质。在美国,我们很少听说加拿大有高品质的葡萄酒。但品尝过桑德班克斯的葡萄酒后,我不得不说,它们完全可以媲美我品尝过的纽约州北部葡萄酒产区的任何一款佳酿,而纽约州北部葡萄酒产区的葡萄酒在我看来也是品质极高的。虽然 11 月中旬这里相当安静,但我可以想象,在温暖的月份里,这里会有很多追随者,所以如果您想在夏天品尝一些真正出色的葡萄酒,我强烈建议您提前预订!
