Mengler Family Wines was founded in 2014 with a focus on producing small batch, vineyard designated, special wines for the purpose of creating unique wine enjoyment experiences. Our signature wine, Rita’s Block, named for my wife Rita, is grown on a small block of land in the Russian River Valley. Family and friends do almost all the work throughout the year on this block from pruning, trimming and leafing all the way to harvesting the grapes by hand in the darkness of night. We then make the wine on site and around one week or so after harvest this elegant red field blend is ready for barrel aging in all American Oak (1/3 new).
We use the same principles for all the rest of our winemaking and make only Sonoma County grown wines aged in American oak. Our continual search for interesting wines is focused on the enjoyment of the wine drinker and we hope you enjoy all we have to offer. Remember to take the time to enjoy family and wine!!
In Sonoma County you can find our wines at Big John's, Bottle Barn and Willibee's. In New York you can find our wines at Total Wines in Westbury, Williston Park Wines and Spirits, Douglaston Wine and Liquors, Il Bacco, Ocean Prime and Il Toscano restaurants.
Our wines are also served at many great restaurants including the Dry Creek Kitchen, The Matheson, Hotel Healdsburg Spirit Bar, and at the Spoonbar. In the LA area (Culver City) check out Piccalilli.
