the Rizzo winery NOTEBOOK
At Rizzo, we want to help our valued customers learn about how many hands this bottle went through before reaching their glass - or why wine has been the chosen beverage for thousands of years throughout history. We wanted to share the tools that enable our wine lovers to feel confident about discussing the bottle of Rizzo they are drinking with friends.
We created the Notebook to help get you there and to pass on our wealth of knowledge to you.
Our Tasting Room Is Open!
Our Tasting Room is finally open and we are so excited to host you. We have snacks galore, as well as flights or glass pours to whatever fits your fancy! Come enjoy the view, meet Mali and bask in good company.
Finally, it seems, the day has come and Rizzo Winery’s gates have opened, the wines have been flowing and you can taste them while breathing in the fresh air of our wonderful country view.
Currently, we are open Saturday and Sundays from 11 AM to 4 PM. Since there is limited seating, due to the current pandemic restrictions and our smaller space, reservations are highly encouraged. We have both indoor and outdoor space, since our indoor space is severely limited, and our outdoor space is uncovered, the reservations are subject to cancellation due to inclement weather.
Our menu has two different flights available to choose from. Our Winemaster Flight is a mix of white wine, rosé, and red wines, whereas our Bold & Beautiful flight is all red wines. If you’d prefer to sip on one wine the whole time, we have glass pour options as well. To snack on while you bask in your wonderful company, we have a marketplace where you’ll find essential charcuterie items à la carte for your custom picnic needs.
Meet Mali, the woman behind the inner workings of our beloved Tasting Room! With her WSET* Level 3 Award in Wines, she has tons of knowledge she’d love to share as you taste through the beautiful wines of Rizzo’s Wine Cellar. From studying in Italy, to pouring you wine and all her personal projects, Mali has been in the wine industry for a few years now. The only thing she loves more than wine is her sweet dog Moose.
*WSET stands for Wine & Spirit Educational Trust and is an international school for wine and spirit professionals.
Celebrating Mali For International Women's Day!
We’re celebrating International Women’s Day by gushing over our incredible Director of Operations, Mali Lubash! She joined our team almost a year ago and has made leaps and bounds of improvements to our business. We are so lucky to have her.
Mali Lubash does it all, a truly remarkable woman that we are so lucky to have on our team. She is the Director of Operations here at Rizzo Winery, she makes the wine with David Rizzo, takes all of those stunning photographs you see on our social media, she is constantly teaching us everything about wine with her WSET 3 certificate, and even is taking our vineyard to Biodynamic places. Everyday it seems that there is truly nothing she can’t do.
We celebrate her talents, her drive, her intelligence, and her enthusiasm every day, but today being International Women’s Day we wanted to share with the world how important our leading lady is! Thank you for everything you do Mali, you’re a rockstar.
