点评:Some friends recommended this spot to us, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. We were seated at the bar, and maybe that was part of the issue. It was quite busy, with both indoor and outdoor seating filled.
The wine itself was just mid. Our server didn’t seem knowledgeable about what she was pouring, and when it comes to wine tasting, that makes a huge difference. A big part of the experience is learning about the wines. You’re there for the story, the vineyard, the tasting notes and none of that really came through.
My boyfriend is a bit of a wine snob (in the best way), and usually, if he enjoys the experience, he buys enough bottles to waive both of our tasting fees. This time, though, nothing really stood out or felt worth it. I’m sorry, but there’s so much more that goes into serving wine than just pouring it. You have to sell the wine and make people fall in love with it. Unfortunately, that spark was missing here. This is a one and done experience for us.
翻译:朋友推荐了这家店,所以我们决定去试试。可惜的是,体验远低于预期。我们被安排在吧台,也许这就是问题所在。当时店里很忙,室内和室外都坐满了人。
酒本身只能算一般。我们的服务员似乎对她倒的酒不太了解,而品酒体验中,这一点至关重要。品酒体验的一大乐趣在于了解葡萄酒背后的故事。你来这里是为了了解酒庄、酒庄的历史、品鉴笔记,但这些我们都没能感受到。
我男朋友是个有点儿“葡萄酒鉴赏家”(褒义的),通常情况下,如果他喜欢这家店,他会买很多瓶酒来抵消我们俩的品酒费。但这次,没有哪款酒真正让人眼前一亮,感觉不值这个价。恕我直言,侍酒不仅仅是倒酒那么简单。你还得推销葡萄酒,让顾客爱上它。可惜的是,这家店恰恰缺少了这种魅力。对我们来说,这是一次性的经历。
