Mendovino Wine - MENDOCINO

The website advertises wine flights and wines by the glass. We walked through a tourist shop to a small back room. After quite a while a woman came in and told us that they do not offer glasses of wine, only sell bottles of wine; and that if we wanted to buy a bottle of wine it could be opened so that we could drink some on the spot! How do we know we want to buy a bottle of a wine we haven't been able to try? Honestly.

Menu advertises flights and glasses . You get there and they have self-promoting literature advertising the same thing. It 's actually not a wine bar like that at all. It 's a place to sit in the back corner of a gift shop. We drove out of our way to come here, thinking we could taste through some of the local producers all in one place. In actuality, they will sell you bottles and let you drink them there. When I asked (tactfully and patiently) about the flyer and said it says you offer 'flights and glasses ' online and even here in store, is that just on certain days, or...? I was cut of snarkily and told by the lady working there that it 's not her store, that she doesn 't own the place and she doesn 't offer flights or tastings but that I could buy a bottle a drink it there. I guess I should have said your place of employment instead of you ? They also don 't offer a restroom, so if you DO pop your own cork, we hope you can keep what might result bottled up. Pass up and go to the local vineyards instead who will assuredly act in a more gracious and congenial manner and skip this snarky bait and switch mercantile!

This is an awesome place! Very friendly and knowledgeable owner. Wine was awesome. Dogs allowed! No bathroom or snacks but there’s places nearby

Good service. Was fun. No tastings or wine by the glass the when we went on Christmas Eve day but we shared a bottle of bubbly and it was fun. Good selection. Good prices on the wines as we knew most of them from visiting the wineries in the area.

Amazing wines. Knowledgeable staff. Ginger is phenomenal and really knows her stuff. Do not skip this spot
