We love Mazzotta Winery! It's always fun to go in and catch up with Frank, and we enjoy his recommendations every time. This isn't "PA Wine," in the sense that we were used to before we discovered Mazzotta-- For our current palates, this is a good thing. Our favorite so far is the Malbec and Frank's Folly (red blend). We've enjoyed giving this wine as gifts to our clients and friends at the holiday season, and we've enjoyed having Mazzotta at events we have hosted as well.

Drove by on our way to dinner and decided to stop. So glad we did! The owner listened to our wine preferences and shared tastings of the wines that fit at no charge. Recommendations were on points! We ended up ordering a bottle to enjoy there, as well as another one of his delightful fruit wines to take home and enjoy later. We also ordered the cheese plate, which was a very generous portion! The patio is so cute with twinkle lights and music- a very good date spot. Will definitely be back!
