点评:Our party of four walked up the hills from Naramata Centre to visit this winery. And we were so glad to have made the effort. We were warmly greeted by Helen with a glass of sparkling pink, then given time to take in our surroundings, admire the stunning views, settle in and meet Dan the dog and Max the properly aloof cat. Helen put on some music - real LPs! - before giving us a short and very interesting history of the vineyard and its vine stock. We then tasted four wines, in two pairs, under Helen’s guidance, with a break in between the pairs so we could relax and chat among ourselves (and praise Max for bringing us a mouse from the field…). We asked lots of questions which Helen patiently answered with good humour.
It was a lovely relaxed way to learn about the wine industry in the region and the wines themselves were quality - we returned the following day by car to purchase some (we didn’t want to carry them back down the hill). Highly recommend this winery for its output, position, friendly and knowledgeable staff and of course Max the sommelier cat!
翻译:我们一行四人从纳拉马塔中心步行上山参观这个酒庄。我们很高兴做出了努力。海伦热情地用一杯闪闪发光的粉红色欢迎我们,然后我们有时间欣赏周围的环境,欣赏令人惊叹的景色,安顿下来并见到狗丹和冷漠的猫麦克斯。海伦放了一些音乐——真正的唱片! - 在给我们介绍一下葡萄园及其葡萄树的简短而有趣的历史之前。然后,我们在海伦的指导下,分成两对品尝了四种葡萄酒,两对之间有休息,这样我们就可以放松并互相聊天(并赞扬麦克斯从田野里给我们带来了一只老鼠……)。我们问了很多问题,Helen 都很耐心、幽默地回答。
这是了解该地区葡萄酒行业的一种轻松愉快的方式,而且葡萄酒本身质量也很高——我们第二天开车回来购买了一些(我们不想把它们带回山下)。强烈推荐这家酒庄,因为它的产量、位置、友好且知识渊博的员工,当然还有侍酒师麦克斯!
