Muscardini Cellars is such a memorable place to taste beautiful wines in Sonoma County. From starting the tasting with Sweet Vermouth and being educated on the history of making it, to ending with a beautiful and soft Merlot. I was in love with everyone wine I tasted here and they definitely pass the Take Home test! I can not wait to join them again for some live music and amazing wine.

Muscardini is a small, family run operation making Italian varietal wines in Sonoma. We had the food and wine pairing, which highlighted the wines along with some cheese and salami preparations. Of all the places we visited on the trip, they were the only ones who called us to make sure we understood about their wines and they understood what we were looking with the tasting. A level of service that is lost for the most part.

This was part of a two-winery trip from a cruise ship docked in SF. Muscardini has a lovely setting providing both shaded and sunny sitting areas. The pours are generous and unrushed. They had a lovely young lady named Maria who talked us through the wines. The tour only had allowed 1.5 hours there. That was a bit of a rush, could easily have spent twice that. The wines are very Italian in style and flavor. Worth a visit.
