Merry Edwards

Highest compliments for a most memorable tasting afternoon of ethereal wines presented by Max Reed, who is simply one of the very best winery hosts we've ever experienced in all our decades of global wine tasting. He was absolutely fantastic with his attention to detail, ability to answer every wine question, wonderful energy, generosity, and professional capability. We enjoyed such a leisurely and informative tasting due to his flawless pacing, attentiveness, product knowledge, and responsiveness. His superior hospitality enhanced the entire wine tasting experience and gave us an even deeper appreciation for all the stellar wines at Merry Edwards. We purchased current releases and library wines based on his most helpful vintage recommendations. Our group consisted of long time wine industry veterans and Max just astounded us with his gold standard of exceptional hospitality. We've been visiting Merry Edwards for decades and Max was the absolute best host we've ever had. He has our very highest recommendation and we sincerely hope that all wine lovers will visit Merry Edwards to experience his level of service. Cheers to Max and the entire Merry Edwards Winery team!

Highly recommend. Perry made our experience at Merry Edwards Winery memorable. His knowledge of the history, the wines and the industry was impressive, bringing life to each varietal. In addition to giving us excellent customer service, he gave us a recommendation for an off-the-radar winery specializing in bubbles that was the perfect end to our day.

Home of the Russian River Valley’s best pinot noir. Charming winery with knowledgeable and down to earth staff. Much more humble vibe than Napa. Woman owned with strong track record of excellent customer service and community engagement. Our first visit was in late August and it was a scorcher. We’ll definitely be back and continue to order online.

I was thrilled to be able to schedule a tasting at Merry Edwards as it has always been one of my favorite sources of Pinot Noir. The visit was everything I hoped it would be... we had excellent service, learned all about the Merry Edwards story, tasted some exceptional Pinot Noirs and a delicious Sauvignon Blanc, had an opportunity to meet the winemaker, and left with several bottles to enjoy at home. It was a perfect way to start the day!

Simple grounds with amazing wine. I know it’s individual palate but their wine has excellent tone and body. Is it just me? Or the sweet aroma of caramel stays forever in the glass that I ended up sniffing the empty wine glass while sitting there. Love the Sauvignon blanc.

Fantastic tasting. Linda was so knowledgeable and shared that knowledge in such a relaxed, enjoyable way. Wines are wonderful. Pinots were lovely. A big surprise was the Sauvignon blanc. Will definitely be back.

Truly stellar Pinot Noirs. Very bold. Simple but lovely patio setting for the wine tasting.

Craig was a wonderful host! He shared fun information about the winery and was genuinely great to be around! We will be back.

Free tasting for the wine made by legendary Merry Edwards? Yes Please! Personally I think the Sauvignon Blanc is one of the best white wine in California, and their Pinot Noir, especially Meredith Estate, is the best. The staffs are really friendly and always dedicated to the group. If you're looking for some fun place to take many pictures and be one of the tourist spot where getting soap, olive oil and bread, this isn't the place for you. But if you're a fine wine seeker, go for it.

This has to be one of the best tasting experiences my wife and I have ever had. Their Pinot's are just delightful. We try to find wines to add to our cellar that unique and that certainly is the case with Merry Edwards. From the story of the female founder, to the graciousness of our host, to the delight of their wines, it was just a great experience. We ended up purchasing a 9 year yikes vertical so would can compare and contrast the vintages and acquire wines that are ready to drink now. Adding this stop to your list is a must.
