Baldarassi

Nice little place to enjoy a wine tasting. Very friendly no pressure tasting. Highly recommend the wine pairing with truffles. Bought a couple bottles of wine to offset the tasting we will enjoy them when we get home win/win.

This review is a little late in coming but "better late than never"--as they say. My partner and I had a Saturday to spend in Sonoma in early March. We took the opportunity to do some wine tasting and decided to visit Baldassari. It was long past lunch by then, unseasonably chilly, We found ourselves ensconced in the corner of an inviting tasting lounge. The warm sun shining through the windows, light chatter of friends at the counter, and the comfortable couch made for a cozy, easy afternoon of sampling Baldassari's delicious wines. We can't say enough about Dom and his gracious hospitality as he took time to explain the wines (with map showing the different regions where the grapes are grown) and to answer our questions about the wine business (contracts between wine makers and grape growers; how climate has affected the business with more frequent extreme temperatures, etc.). It was a memorable afternoon, and we can't thank Dom enough for that. We highly recommend a visit to Baldassari for the wine and, certainly, for Dom's hospitality. Gerald

We’ve been here three or four times in the past two years when visiting Sonoma. We love this tasting room and the skill of the winemaker. A small family own tasting room and wine producer. Great wines at a good price point. Family heritage of coming to America. Once a week there’s music. Great local vibe that makes us want to retire in Windsor and make this our local hangout. You’ll feel at home.

David was an excellent host for our spontaneous wine tasting! We were so happy to end our day relaxing with an excellent glass of Pinot! We had a wonderful experience and cannot wait to return!!

My wife and I had great time here! Vibe was super chill, the wines are fantastic and Matt was very informative about the the specific regions around the Russian river valley that each wine was grown. We will definitely be stopping in regularly from now on.

These wines are full of surprises! Tons of interesting flavors and notes! Finally a rosé full of flavor but not undrinkably sweet. And the Malbec has a surprising sweet pipe tobacco that is crazy. All the wines finish open and light.

Small selection of wines that they take great care in making. The staff was some of the friendliest I've had in a long time. I will probably come here more often just because of how awesome the staff is.

Dom was a wonderful host. Very knowledgeable about each delicious wine he poured for us. We will definitely be back. Great location too, heart of Windsor! 🤗

Love Baldassari! Enjoyed the atmosphere of people watching downtown while drinking good wine and enjoying a beautiful day. Dom was a great host and timed the pours perfectly!

I immediately tasted the difference from the wines I’ve typically been offered, and I’ve become a convert to wine! ( through the Pinot Noir and Syrah...). They are complex! a different drinking experience — highly recommend!

Adorable tasting room with great service. 1/2 charcuterie board was perfect for 2 and went really well with a tasting.

Had a wonderful experience — the tour was engaging and beautifully paced, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was fantastic. Smooth, balanced, and full of character. A lovely afternoon all around.

Had a wonderful time here with my brother, we did a tasting and a charcuterie board. There is a cozy and welcoming ambiance which complements the food and wine. It was all well rounded by the service provided.

Great wine, amazing staff! We stumbled upon the Baldassari tasting room on the first night of our Napa/Sonoma visit, and it was a definite highlight of our entire trip. David was a phenomenal host: so welcoming & knowledgable! We brought several bottles home & can’t wait for our first wine club shipment!

My goodness - can’t believe this place only has six reviews (at least as of 12/19/20). We found Baldassari purely by chance: we were actually walking into the cute pet place next door and Deb came outside to chat with us. She invited us in, and we’ve been members ever since! She and Dom in the tasting room have always taken great care of us and everyone went sent there. It was in 2018 when we first met Deb, and we still buy the majority of our wine from this incredible winery. All of their wines are great, and our favorites right now are the 2017 Chardonnay and Syrah. Everyone we’ve shared them with has also loved them, so it’s worth a shot to try them out. Before you buy that big-winery bottle, do yourself a favor and try the beautiful wines at Baldassari. You can thank me later.

Looking for a cozy wine tasting experience? Look no further than this charming corner wine lounge in downtown Windsor! We were lucky enough to be greeted by the friendly duo of Dom (dad) and Matt (son & winemaker). They made us feel right at home, sharing their passion for wine and their family business. We opted for the red flight, indulging in the smooth Pinot Noir, the bold Syrah, the intriguing Malbec, and the classic Cab. While we enjoyed them all, the Malbec was a standout—a rich, full-bodied wine with subtle chocolate notes. Next time, we're definitely trying their chocolate and wine pairing. It sounds like the perfect way to unwind! If you're in the area, don’t miss this gem. You’ll love the wine, the atmosphere, and the warm hospitality.

I was there on a Friday night recently , I felt uncomfortable with the amount of people there to begin there. They were definitely over the limit, completely intoxicated. The staff kept on serving these guest and let them drive home over the limit. I noticed very unsafe driving conditions when people drove away.
