2006 Moscato Allegro
Wine Spectator, April 30, 2008 - 82 points
ChicagoTribune.com, March 5, 2008 - Uncorked-Muscat Love. "Made in the style of an Italian Moscato d'Asti, this California wine had an elegant spark thanks to lots of acidity. Slightly spritzy, the wine smelled of honey and pears. Serve with apple tart or strawberry shortcake. (3 corkscrews, very good)"
89 points, Best Buy, Highly Recommended, Beverage Testing Institute, Feb. 2008 Colorado Wine News (Jan-March 2008) BEST Buy - 2006 Moscato Allegro
"...This is a well put together wine which will be very popular. Buy it by the case for your next party. BEST BUY."

Gil Kulers; Kulers Uncorked. One thumb up: Tastes like a lemon-orange poundcake in a glass. Sweet but not cloying, as a subtle spritz counterbalances this wine's richness.

2006 Pinot Grigio, Paso Robles
Contra Costa Times, 10/31/07
Pinot Gris' popularity rises, yet prices stay low
"2006 Martin & Weyrich, Pinot Grigio, Central Coast ($15): From its very fresh scents of green melon to its juicy, mildly peachy flavors, this engaging youngster hits the varietal mark smartly, and its straight-ahead pleasures take no effort to find. Its neatly placed acids lend just the right edge of crispness to its lengthy finish."

2005 Chardonnay, Edna Valley
February 28, 2007
Local Wine Picks: Superior wines are made from Edna Valley grapes
By Laurie Daniel, Special to The Tribune
"The Edna Valley, with its cool climate, is actually better known for chardonnay than for syrah. The appellation is the source for a racy little chardonnay produced by Martin & Weyrich in Paso Robles. The 2004 Martin & Weyrich Jack Ranch Chardonnay ($15) is very crisp, with flavors of pear, lemon and just enough creaminess to add richness. Drink it with a piece of grilled halibut, any shellfish dish that isn't overly heavy or spaghetti with white clam sauce."

2002 Dante Dusi Vineyard Reserve Zinfandel, Paso Robles
Wine Enthusiast
June 2006
91 points
"Martin & Weyrich 2002 Dante Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel (Paso Robles) The vineyard is an old one with a proud name, and the winemaker does it justice in crafting this dry, balanced wine. Zin all the way, with wild berry, cocoa and spice flavors and rich tannins that contribute to the lush, soft mouthfeel. Earns extra points for the sheer exuberance of its varietal personality."
