On Monday, August 3, 2009, we had an exceptional visit at your wine tasting room. We have been club members since almost the start of your winery and have been loyal fans since our very first sip!
However, we had to tell you that we more than our usual good time but because George was doing the pouring on Monday. He is just fantastic. He made our trip which could have been a short visit into a wonderful experience. We, of course, walked out with a couple more cases of wine to share with family and friends!
Just wanted to take a moment to share a great trip to your wine tasting room with you and thank George for sharing the experience with us. We will see you soon. |

Wine Lover's DIscussion Group calls our 2006 Pauli Ranch Barbara "slurpably good...."
A review of our wines and tasting room from Simple Hedonisms...
Brewventures loved our tasting room as well....
"Muscardini Cellars' Sangiovese...was absolutely perfect with the tomato and goat cheese tarts AND the lamb. The spiciness worked nicely to cut through the richness of the gratin too."

| We have found your wines so exceptional! Some of our absolute favorites. Muscardini & Ty Caton are one of my favorite wine spots in Sonoma where I steer people I like. Please do keep me on your mailing list! Before we leave, we'll definitely pop by for a visit, and when we come back, you'll be one of our first stops when we visit family in Sonoma. |
| All the best, Kristin |

| Michael, we visited your tasting room last February and was fortunate to meet both you and your dog.....plus ship some of your wine back to Iowa. (We Iowan's cause your earthquakes....we send so much wine back home that the weight coming off the earth causes California's earth to rise....) We really enjoyed your wine. Thinking about coming out late this fall with another couple to visit the Sonoma Valley - which my wife and I really, really enjoyed. |
| Thanks. Ron M. |

Michael,
It was a pleasure to meet you and visit your tasting room when vacationing earlier this month. My husband and I found your Sangiovese to be our favorite wine of all that we tried, so much we bought 6 bottles! We definitely had the experience that we were looking for- a family-owned winery with lots of hospitality when tasting. We grew tired of the corporate experiences that we kept having throughout Napa and Sonoma. You were the only owner that we met, which really helps to make a special visit.
Thanks again for making a great wine and creating an inviting tasting room. If we make it back that way, we will be sure to put your Sangiovese on the top of our list! |
| Sincerely, Kevin and Karly M. |

| The 2006 Muscardini "Pauli Ranch" Barbera (Ukiah, Mendocino County ) was slurpably good...very ripe and very rich...the complex layers of deep berry fruit flavor were just so damn good! Utterly slurpable and a nice surprise, even though I had quite liked the wine in their tasting room. There was also a delicious bit of "funkiness" which I enjoy in fruity wines in proper doses. I guess I still straddle both sides of the austere-old world/fruity - New World divide when something like this hits the glass. To be honest, this may be one of the only American Barberas I can remember enjoying—the grape usually seems to produce insipid and sweet and blah wines. Well worth 94 points- a classic for the varietal. |
