Station 1870

Former storefront of Spectrum Wine.  Station 1870 features the wines from the Fritz family.  The Fritz family winery is north of Geyersville.   So we're talking about a local Sonoma county wine producer & purveyor.  Let it be known that Station 1870 also serves a list of Italian wines as well.

I've had the pleasure to drink all the white and red wines made by Fritz.  Every varietal is packed with flavor, has a nice silky mouth feel, and is low in acid and tannins.

This wine bar does have tapa style small plates of snack food for your chewing pleasure.  Last night I ate the 6 crostini variety plate and the special 4 pieces of cheese & fig crostini plate.  The tapas are small and for $10 per plate the tariff seems a little too high.

Still Station 1870 is a nice wine bar, staffed with friendly & knowledgeable servers.

Go!  You'll enjoy the place.

We stumbled upon this great wine bar after having dinner at Lococo's.  The service was fantastic and they were not pretentious like some places.  We each did a flight of wine which they modified to our taste and then a couple glasses.  We ended up leaving with a few bottles.  The new Zinfandel is to die for delicious.  To top it off there was excellent live 90's music.  It was like a walk down memory lane.

A friend and I stopped by for a glass of wine after lunch and shopping today mid afternoon, and it was a pleasant break.  We both loved the Fritz Russian River pinot and the server was very friendly and helpful.  Would I go back?  If I was cool with spending $14 per glass as a once in awhile treat (and we didn't get offered the happy hour before 6 pm prices or the buy a bottle discount when we were there) and then maybe going somewhere else after?  Maybe.  The space is nice, and I like the couches and side tables.  Parking is way easier in Railroad Square than downtown.
