Martha Clara used to be a pastry sales girl at the time she and her husband met. The family made it through the depression by selling their delicious pastries and decorated cakes. After her husband died of a heart attack, Martha focused on supporting her sons while improving the fate of their bakery.

When his mother passed away, Robert Entenmann decided to move on to greener pastures. He initially thought of a potato farm, but noticing that the area around Long Island is already filled of grape plantations, he decided to try his luck in the vineyard business instead.

In 1995, Robert Entenmann planted around 18 acres of vinifera grapes in his vineyard. While anxiously waiting for these grapes to come to ripen, Robert acquired more land. His vineyard acreage eventually grew from 18 to 112 acres.

Martha Clara Vineyard’s first release was in 1999. It was a Viognier made from the Sagpond Vineyards by a certain Roman Roth of Wolffer Estate. By the summer of 2000, Robert started releasing more varieties of wine, including Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Semillon. Though these wines were received quiet favorably, they’re not really what you might label as the best in their line..

The next year, sales started improving followed by the release of a more delicious variety. These arrivals consist of the Sauvignon Blanc, Reserve Chardonnay and a new blend called Glaciers End. You might want to check their website for a complete listing of their products. Their website also offer valuable information about the wines that they make.

Their much recent releases of Gewurztraminer and Riesling are just two of their best-selling products. In addition, both have acquired new labels to effectively say that much has been improved on these wines.
