When I first visited Marked Tree (maybe when they first opened, I would have given it 5 stars. This is a BEAUTIFUL property and establishment. I absolutely love the 'marked tree' story behind the name. And I love most of their wines. During this visit, I chose to do a tasting (like I had done before) to see if there was anything new and to refresh my pallet. However, the tasting was 'pre-selected' and all but one of the wines I would not have chosen. We were asked to sit in a space for 2 so as not to take up spaces for bigger parties (this felt a bit off-putting). It took a minimum of 45 minutes to taste a few wines because we had to wait for someone to come around to where we were sitting to give us our next tasting. Had we been able to choose our own tasting (and taste more efficiently), we would have purchased a glass...or three...of the wines that we loved. Still a great place, but just didn't have the same feel for us as it did the first time we visited. read more
