Insider tip
Murfatlar's maritime Muscat Ottonel has a unique salinity that only appears in September tastings—bottle it cellars' own production before commercial release blurs regional character. Time your visit for Saturday to catch the winemaker tastings before the weekend tourism crowds arrive Sunday.
