Winery Tasting: Martenelli
Windsor, CA
Tasted Thursday, October 14, 2004 by 97mjr with 857 views
Introduction
No appt; 6 wines for free. Great setting and simplistic structure.
Martinelli makes great wines, none which I have ever seen in their tasting room. Also, I have found the staff less inviting than other places in the Russian River. I would write it off to the the fact that RMP was tasting upstairs on this day, however, I didnt feel anymore welcome on a previous visit.
Flight 1 (6 Notes)
Closing
Did not purchase any wine. Dont plan to return . . . unless I know Jackass or L&G are available.
