Merkin Vineyards Tasting Room Osteria

My friend and I want to try this place. We went to wine and dinner last Saturday and he suggested to me there (we were great fans of Maynard). The staff was absolutely amazing and the hostess was so great! She helped film the proposal and the staff went beyond and beyond to make this so special! They were about the food and the wine, that was all top notch! I can't wait to go back and I would highly recommend this place as MUST!

Great food, wine and atmosphere. The waiter was funny, knowledgeable and very entertaining. I’ve wanted to visit this spot for quite sometime and it did not disappoint. We got a bottle of the Shinola and I highly recommend this to anyone that’s a fan of a full bodied wine.

I landed in Cottonwood after a 4 day stag party in La Jolla and a 7 hour drive through the desert. It wasn’t quite fear and loathing but I needed help in the way of a good meal and a stiff drink. I felt at home within minutes of walking through the doors. The decor, conversation, aromas and friendly staff were exactly what I needed. Maynard’s Mac and Cheese and a few glasses of Tempranillo went down a treat. I love this place and I hope to get back there some day.

This place was amazing. Great service and wine. Their veggie plate was absolutely fantastic!!! Highly recommend

Went here for my birthday celebrations on March 21st. We had no idea who owned it. Wonderful surprise as we are huge fans! And what amazing wines. Our beautiful server, Amber, was so knowledgeable and kind. The young blonde host with the bob was so positive. All the staff were helpful and adorable! Sustainable wines is quite the noble quest. After two flights (Tarzan Jane/Merkin Reds) we had a bottle of the Chupacabra (a spicy and bold red) in the sun on the patio... HEAVEN! The Charcuterie Board was tops, possibly the best! Also had the Italian Sub Special, so fresh, so flavorful! We live in Palm Springs, CA and were driving back from Sedona, AZ. Total fluke that we stopped by, but so worth it and totally recommend making it to Old Town Cottonwood to support and enjoy this GEM of a establishment. #fortysixand2
