No sooner had Mia Van Der Water, the petite sommelier at North End Grill in Battery Park, New York, poured our first glass of Burn Cottage Pinot Noir 2010 than she explained with pride how soon this restaurant had managed to open after superstorm Sandy. “Fortunately, we are on the Brooklyn electric grid across the water, so we were only closed for two days,” she said. “And we all wanted to reopen as soon as possible to reassure all those who live and work round here that life was going to get back to normal.”
米娅•范德沃特(Mia Van Der Water),这位在纽约炮台公园(Battery Park)里的North End Grill餐厅里工作的体态娇小的侍酒师,一边为我们倒上第一杯2010年份的Burn Cottage黑比诺葡萄酒,一边很自豪地介绍说这家餐厅在桑迪飓风之后迅速地重新开业了。“很幸运,我们用的是布鲁克林电网,所以也就关门了两天。”她说,“我们所有人都希望尽快重新开业,以便让在周围居住和工作的人都安心,让生活尽快回归到正常的轨道上来。”
