Rosenthal Winery in Malibu reopens for first time since Palisades Fire

MALIBU, Calif. (KABC) -- A beloved winery in Malibu reopened Saturday for the first time since the Palisades Fire forced them to shut down.

The Rosenthal Winery sat along Pacific Coast Highway for 12 years before it burned down in the fire.

For the past seven months, the winery has operated only through wine clubs and online sales.

However, they opened a new location at their Malibu Estate, which received final approval last month. Members and guests were greeted with tastings, bottles, glasses and live music.

"I didn't even know it was the opening weekend, and I'm so thrilled and happy to be back here," said longtime customer Wendy Gardner on Saturday. "That really speaks to their dedication to the wine industry and the fabulous company that they are."

The winery will only be open on the weekends and will be hosting two tasting sessions, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.

Reservations are required. To learn more, visit the Rosenthal Winery's website.
