    Black knight tasting room
    Chris G.

    I am an avid wine taster so I am naturally very excited for any wine tasting rooms in Petaluma. The tasting was $20 but there are two for one tasting cards floating around out there. We had a good time and the wine was not the best, but also not the worst. The biggest negative for me was the ambiance. It was a very cold feeling winery, with strange electric violin music playing. With so many amazing winery's near by, I guess I expected a little bit more.

    Happened upon this tasting room on Father's Day (the dad of honor is a huge sparkling fan). We were looking for a place to continue his sparkling day (having started at Cafe Mimosa) and we found Lexi! I'm so glad we did... On a last minute Sunday afternoon, she was warm and welcoming. She took us through our flights (still and sparkling) as easily as having a conversation with a friend! The wine is good AND the space is beautiful and inviting so when you're in the area, you should stop in...

    Had a wonderful experience here for our first visit ever. Mitch and Joy were wonderful hosts and so fun to "talk shop"' with about wine, family, life during a pandemic, and all other matters of the heart. My husband and I sampled various wines (and then some) from their flight menu and enjoyed a yummy, perfectly-proportioned cheese plate. We brought our little dog with us who was treated very well. We enjoyed several of the wines we ended up purchasing, particularly the Estate Sparking Chardonnay, Queen's Gambit Pinot Noir 2017, and En Passant Pinot Noir 2016. We will return!

    I had a wonderful time in this downtown Petaluma tasting room! There is space outside to social distance, and your host is sure to wear a mask. Heidi was very personable and knowledgeable!! She gave us side by sides and told us some of her favorite pairings with some of our favorite wines. The indoor space is very comfortable and airy. Lots of old wood and nature aspects brought in. Some of my personal wine favorites were the Petillant Sparkling Chardonnay, the Queen's Gambit 2016 Pinot Noir, and the top-of-the-line Dragon's Back Pinot Noir. The prices are very fair for the quality of wine. Getting a good Pinot Noir at $40 is a yes in my book! If I had some marketing tips to give, I would advise to rename/rebrand the "Sparkling Chardonnay" to something like "Sparkling Blanc" or "Petillant-Naturel White Sparkling". People who tend not to like still, California Chardonnay will be turned off by the name "Sparkling Chardonnay". (Even though the best of us know it's the only white grape used in true Champagne-- just a thought.) Loved the warm, inviting experience provided by my host! Great wines! Great prices! Please go support a local business and enjoy downtown Petaluma :)

    Black Knight Vineyards was okay. I tasted about 5 wines I believe and I only really enjoyed 1 or 2. The serve was alright, she was nice but I wish she knew more about the wine to tell me about it because it was a tasting. I think it's worth a stop if you're in the area but it wasn't anything spectacular.

    Excellent wine selection, super clean, and good vibes. Lexi went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Thank you, Lexi!!

    Lovely wine tasting experience! Family owned winery, very knowledgeable about wine making process. The wines are great, we also.had the charcuterie board. We especially enjoyed the Pinot noir and the pop-top all-star wines.

My adoring sidekick and I were invited to a private wine tasting and that experience poured straight into our memory like a perfectly decanted dream. Gary Brooks himself was there, the soft-spoken sorcerer behind Brooks Note Winery. His wines didn't whisper, they sang. Balanced. Elegant. Honest. The kind of Pinot that makes your boots buckle and your palate perk up like a hound on the trail. Somewhere between the third pour and the second "this is amazing," he told us we should stop by if we were ever in California. So, like any pair of polite Texans with a thirst for the finer things in life, we showed up. And let me tell you: the Brooks Note tasting room in Petaluma is a rustic-modern temple to the wine gods. The exposed beams, gleaming ductwork, and warm wood details make you want to cozy up and swirl your glass. It's the kind of place where your taste buds grow up and your Instagram feed gets a glow-up. We had reservations for a late afternoon tasting and were greeted by none other than Lucy, the softest, fluffiest winery pup in California. She strolled over like she owned the place, and honestly, I think she does. My adoring sidekick gave her the full greeting: head rub, affirming tone, instant friendship secured. Then came the Pinot Flight Tasting Menu, a five-part aria of California terroir: * 2022 Monroe Vineyard: Fruit-forward with a hint of the forest floor, like autumn bottled and ready to dance. * 2023 Russian River Valley: Silky as a tuxedoed lounge singer. Red fruit, spice, and grace. * 2022 Weir Vineyard: Earthy, old-soul depth. The kind of wine that feels like it remembers the first time someone planted vines in California. * 2023 Petaluma Gap: Cool, coastal, and fresh like ocean wind meeting orchard breeze. * 2022 Panther Ridge: Lush, structured, with a finish so long it could anchor a ballad. We were mid-way through the second glass when Gary appeared like a magician stepping onstage after the opening act. He welcomed us, remembered Fort Worth, and then proceeded to give us the full behind-the-scenes tour: the tasting room, the barrel room stacked high with rich oak dreams (no clue what kind of wood, but it smelled like wine-soaked heaven), and the metal vats where fermentation magic bubbles into being. It's one thing to drink a wine. It's another to see its origin story. We eventually made our way back to the table, finished our tasting, then slipped into that late afternoon golden glow. Before leaving, my wife said her goodbyes to Lucy with the kind of fondness usually reserved for lifelong friends or the last bite of a perfect dessert. We didn't take any bottles with us because we already had some back home in Texas. As we stepped outside into the California sun, I said, "Their wine bottles don't gather dust, they disappear gracefully after dinner." My wife rolled her eyes and muttered, "You're aging like wine, all right. Getting drier by the year." She's not wrong. Final thought? This is the kind of tasting that doesn't end when you leave the building. It lingers in your memory like a perfectly aged vintage. TL;DR: Petaluma charm meets Pinot perfection. Balanced, elegant wines served in a spacious, welcoming room. Lucy the wine pup deserves her own label. Gary Brooks delivers not only extraordinary wine, but an unforgettable experience. The only thing smoother than the Pinot is my wife's way of saying, "That's enough, dear." Brooks Note isn't a stop, it's a chapter worth savoring. Bonus Dad Joke: What did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing. It just let out a little wine... but probably not as gracefully as a Brooks Note Pinot.

The unique designs for the Racing Series bottles really helped elevate the nod owner, Kevin Buckner had to his career in racing.

We are excited to check it out along with the added experiences that will surely draw in people who are looking for something special to do.

    California's wine country has made its presence known in the heart of California's cheese country!…read moreLocated in the heart of downtown Petaluma, the Montagne Russe tasting room is the newest tasting room in Petaluma taking over from where Black Knight Vineyards recently had a tasting room. Montagne Russe's full name is Montagne Russe Winery and Record Lounge, and it is exactly what it is, as it is part wine tasting room and part vinyl record store with hundreds of new and pre-used classic record albums for sale. What a perfect place to sip great wine while enjoying hit tracks from the past. Montagne Russe pours some of the nicest wines sourced from across Sonoma County, especially the nearby Petaluma Gap, making this newest tasting venue an ideal spot to soak in the atmosphere while supporting a local business. We've visited Montagne Russe before when their tasting room was at Bacchus Landing in Healdsburg, and while it was a beautiful space, it wasn't always busy. So it's no surprise they made the move to downtown Petaluma this past year. We'd been wanting to check out their new location since they opened over the summer, and finally got the chance during a recent weekend afternoon. With lively crowds outside, parking was harder to come by, as the recommended Keller Street Garage was completely full, but a short walk from the River Plaza parking lot did the trick. Even though we had reservations, we didn't end up needing them when we arrived, but the tasting room was full by the time we left. Winemaker and owner Kevin Bersofsky greeted us with a complimentary splash of their 2022 Sparkling Brut Rosé which had subtle hints of citrus throughout. From there, I enjoyed their Library tasting while my friend enjoyed their Signature tasting, both of which were offered at 35 dollars a person. For our second tasting, I enjoyed their 2019 Silver and Gold Chardonnay while my friend enjoyed their 2023 Roberts Road Chardonnay. My tasting of the Chardonnay tasted as it it was lower in alcohol, but higher in acid than my friend's Chardonnay, but both tasted wonderful. For our third pour, we enjoyed their signature Pinot Noirs, we me enjoying their vintage from 2019 and my friend sipped on their 2022 vintage, which were both sourced from Black Knight Vineyard, of which their wine tasting room they replaced in downtown Petaluma. For our fourth pour, I enjoyed their 2021 Terra De Promissio Pinot Noir, while my friend enjoyed their 2022 "Quatre Cinq Un" Pinot Noir, for both of these wines, the tannins were not too overpowering but you could definitely taste them. For our fifth and final pour, I enjoyed their 2018 Robert's Road Pinot Noir, which had hints of baking spices and cherries, while my friend enjoyed their 2021 Alder Springs Syrah, which was lush and silky smooth. For 70 dollars, not including gratuity, we enjoyed a lovely afternoon of wine tasting. When we made our reservation, there was a note about being able to bring in takeout from nearby restaurants, though it never came up once we began our tasting and honestly, we were too focused on the wines to think about food. As the afternoon went on, the crowd grew significantly, and at times it felt like we got a bit lost in the shuffle when it came to service. Still, we made the most of our visit and thoroughly enjoyed both the wines and the people-watching. With Montagne Russe still relatively new to the downtown Petaluma community, I can easily see them thriving here for a long time to come.

They served their sparkling brut Rose and plenty of Pinot Noir, all from Sonoma County, Sonoma Coastal, & Petaluma Gap appellation. One that stood out to us was the 2022 Dragons Back Pinot Noir. A classic tasty Pinot. They went all out and offered tasty bites that really enhanced their wines. They used to be in Healdsburg at Bacchus Landing a much larger location but not centrally located so moving to historical downtown Petaluma gives them an opportunity to attract a larger audience especially since their wines are sourced from the cooler Sonoma county region. What a fine job of remodeling the tasting room. I don't know how they did it but somehow the place seems wider and larger than the previous tasting room at this location. They opened the back with some large gathering tables and their vast selection of records is housed in the back as well. They added some small tables throughout the space. It's easy to maneuver. They also allow guests to bring food inside, so you can sip, sit, nosh & listen to some tunes. There are plenty of eateries around so it's any easy stop. As I write this review I'm reminiscing how well their Sparkling Brut Rose and Dragons Back Pinot Noir went so well with a prosciutto sandwich they offered at their grand opening. A great match, and good representation of Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap wines.
