vitis vinifera

We like these folks a whole lot.  They are nice people and the wine is very good. We invited them to pour at our tasting Saturday (3-6pm - 132 Front Street, Greenport opposite the post office) and they are coming and we are glad. You will be too.

One thing that we do like about Martha Clara is the name. Mom's name.  Too often vineyards take on weird names for their marketing - things that some PR firm dreams up and they are often good wines masked under a cutesy label; so cutesy that customers sometimes don't take them seriously. Of course there is a place for that and most of them do pretty well because the wine is often a very good label  but we appreciate something straight forward. It disarms our customers by saying "here it is. named after mom".

You'll like this tasting. A whole bunch.  And vitis vinifera is the grape the family first planted when they got the "wine bug".  Nice choice. Besides you gotta love their choice of music (below).
