Tasting is basically outside a small retail store. The winemaker answered all her questions with a smile. Nice experience reasonably priced tasting and some unique gifts in the shop. Definitely a dog friendly place.

Becca was helping us....4 if us vivacious girls, some with less experience. I knew my friends would love the spot as the wines are yummy, reasonably priced and their dog theme is just really fun. We all ended up buying a bottle and I actually committed and became a member. It is such a good deal. Very happy. Thank you! Dasha…

How disappointed were we when we arrived at 3:30pm this past Friday (07/06/18) to find a sign on the door stating “closed for lunch be back at 4pm.” Since their posted business operation times said they are open to 6pm we were shocked to find they were closed at that time. This was our last tasting before heading to the Oakland airport to catch a flight home, as it was highly recommended by friends who visited recently, and it was not an option to wait until 4pm.

My wife and I were outraged and disappointed at the same time as we very much wanted to sample their wines since our friends were so impressed by their them.

Mutt Lynch has consistently been recognized as one of the foremost dog-centric wineries in the U.S. A portion of their sales go to dog-related causes and their canine theme runs through everything they do. This was my first visit to their Windsor tasting room, but it will not be my last. From the dog sculpture (and two full water bowls) outside the door to the myriad of doggie curios throughout the tasting room, the dog theme reigns supreme. And about those wines: they are all fabulous (as it the atmosphere in which they are served, along with the tasting room staff serving them). Highlights are the reserve Zinfandel, amazingly smooth and approachable for a new release. The Chardonnay was also excellent, as was the Cabernet blend. Another highlight was the Primitivo, the neglected cousin of Zinfandel that is seldom produced in CA. After tasting Brenda's (the owner/winemaker, in the tasting room at the time of our visit) Primitivo, it's hard no to become a fan. All the Mutt Lynch wines are excellent values (especially by Napa/Sonoma standards). Very highly recommenced.…
