Tasting with Scot Bilbro of Marietta Cellars
Founded in 1978 by Chris Bilbo, his premise was as simple as the facility: to make affordable red blends, many non-vintage, from a hodgepodge of vineyard sites across Sonoma and Mendocino counties.
Chris Bilbro always included his three sons in the family business: his oldest son, Jake, along with Jake’s younger brothers Scot and Sam, all in their 30s or early 40s.
Scot and Jake bought Marietta from their dad in 2012. Scot is now the sole owner, and he makes the wines.
The other Bilbro brothers are now engaging in their own fruitful wine ventures-
With Jake’s path initially starting with Marietta, then onto buying Limerick Lane with his wife in 2011, and now currently the owner/ creator of Revelshine Wines.
Keeping with the family vintner tradition, Sam Bilbro is the founder and maker of Idlewild, making elegant Italian style wines.
On Wednesday 11/11, come join us at the tasting bar with Scot, who will share Marietta’s highly rated Old Vine wines.
An opportunity not to miss!
