点评:Myself and friends went to wine taste in Lodi. One of the friends picked Oak Farm and made a reservation for us based on reviews. The landscape, outdoor and indoor seating looked very nice. However, when we arrived at 3:45 for our scheduled 4:00 tasting the staff acted as if we were bothering them. Especially our wine pourer Monica was very off putting and unfriendly right off from the start to the end. We wanted to see where we could sit and were told very in a rough manner of voice that tastings “were for standing only.” During each pour she never described the wine as to it’s origin of grapes, where they were grown, notes about how the wine taste, etc as every other winery we’ve been to has described each tasting. No small talk at all. There was no experience about the tastings. She didn’t smile even once. Apparently, outdoor seating was for members only. The indoor seating was completely empty as it was a Monday. We were surprised that the $20 tasting fee would only be waived upon the purchase of 2 bottles, not 1 like most wineries. She never even discussed the wine club details. We were very surprised at the end that the tasting fee was also taxed. We’ve never been taxed on a tasting fee in Lodi, Napa, Sonoma, Amador, Mendocino County, etc and other locations ever before. We will never return and definitely not recommend the winery. In fact, will mention to our friends to not go there.
翻译:我和朋友们去洛迪品酒。其中一位朋友参考了网上的评论后,选择了Oak Farm并为我们预订了名额。那里的景色、户外及室内座位区看起来都相当不错。然而,我们在预定时间4点前于3点45分抵达后,工作人员的态度却仿佛我们在打扰他们。尤其是负责倒酒的莫妮卡,从头到尾都显得极其冷漠且毫无友好之意。我们想看看能坐在哪里,结果对方用很不友善的语气告诉我们:“品酒区只允许站着品酒。”每次倒酒时,她都从不像我们去过的其他酒庄那样介绍葡萄酒的葡萄品种、产地以及口感特征等信息。整个过程中完全没有闲聊。这次品酒体验糟糕透顶——她甚至连一次微笑都没有。显然,户外的座位也仅限会员使用。因为是周一,酒庄内的座位区空无一人。让我们感到意外的是,大多数酒庄在购买一瓶酒后便可免除品酒费,而这家酒庄却规定必须购买两瓶酒才能免掉20美元的品酒费。她甚至根本没有提及酒庄会员俱乐部的任何信息。最后我们又惊讶地发现,品酒费还需要缴税。此前我们在洛迪、纳帕、索诺玛、阿马多尔、门多西诺县以及其他地区的任何酒庄品酒时都从未被征收过税。我们绝对不会再光顾这家酒庄,也绝不推荐别人去。事实上……我会告诉我们的朋友不要去那里。
