点评:A Rediscovery on Highway 12. As part of our ongoing journey visiting local wineries, we finally stopped at B.R. Cohn. I’ve passed the sign for years, and as a San Francisco native and long-time Doobie Brothers follower, I was well aware of the history. In the past, I’ve bought their goods occasionally—finding them always good, but not necessarily remarkable. This visit changed that.
We stopped in during the late afternoon, just before an early dinner at Stella up the road, and were taken excellent care of by Sandee. She was full of history about the winery and passionate about the products, making our visit both relaxed and informative. Her knowledge and no-pressure assistance were refreshing, especially given the current state of the wine industry.
My wife commented that very few wineries we have visited over the years have presented us with such a 'bounty of deliciousness.' The wines were exceptional:
The Favorite: 2022 Malbec, Olive Hill Estate, Sonoma Valley.
Runner Up: Quintet Red Wine Blend.
Honorable Mentions: The Cab Franc and Cabernets are solid contenders.
The experience was five stars across the board, from the wines to the grounds, and above all, the service. We were so impressed that we joined the Legends Club on the spot to take advantage of the reciprocal rights to the Adair family of wineries. Kudos to the whole team!
翻译:12号公路上的重温之旅。作为我们持续探访当地酒庄之旅的一部分,我们终于来到了B.R. Cohn酒庄。多年来,我每次路过都会看到它的招牌,作为土生土长的旧金山人,同时也是杜比兄弟乐队的忠实粉丝,我对它的历史耳熟能详。过去,我偶尔会买他们的酒——觉得品质一直不错,但并没有什么特别出彩的地方。这次探访彻底改变了我的看法。
我们在傍晚时分,也就是去附近的Stella餐厅享用晚餐之前,顺道拜访了酒庄。Sandee热情周到地接待了我们。她对酒庄的历史了如指掌,对酒庄的产品也充满热情,让我们的参观既轻松愉快又收获满满。她渊博的知识和不强迫推销的态度令人耳目一新,尤其是在如今葡萄酒行业竞争激烈的环境下。
我的妻子感慨道,这么多年来,我们参观过的酒庄中,很少有像B.R. Cohn这样“美味佳酿琳琅满目”的。这里的葡萄酒品质卓越:
最爱:2022年份马尔贝克,橄榄山庄园,索诺玛谷。
亚军:Quintet 红葡萄酒混酿。
荣誉提名:品丽珠和赤霞珠葡萄酒实力强劲。
从葡萄酒到酒庄环境,尤其是服务,整个体验堪称五星级。我们印象深刻,当场加入了传奇俱乐部,享受与阿代尔家族酒庄的互惠权益。向整个团队致敬!
