A very comfortable location hosted by an incredibly friendly staff with an outstanding wine list. Do yourself a favor and stop by sometime. Don't pass on the chips and dip. Overall great experience.

It's a wine place, and I love wines. It was my first time tasting wine in Marin. For a couple of months, I hadn't had wine. I was glad to finally have time for a sip of Pinot Noir, but this time, I had it with no food. The menu had a great selection. The people there were older and having a great time. There was a tasting event and the people were nice, but I and my friend didn't join. Overall, it was a lively place.Parking: There is a nice parking lot very close by.

My favorite place to come and get some work done when I'm in town! Great service, wine, and snacks! Can't wait to come back.

Definitely go here any time you are in need of a good glass of wine. Or go here if you don't need one; you'll want one after you see their exceptional list of wines by the glass. Folks are really nice here and very knowledgeable. You can't go wrong with any of Kyle's recommendations.

Lovely to sit and have apps with a Pinot flight and some Sancerre . Severs were prompt and kept things moving. We walked here w our dog.. definitely be back. Thank you
Splendid wine and snacks. Service however pretty disappointing. Always love to see a youthful staff but not with the sense of entitlement that was brought by the younger gentleman serving us. Attitude was given when ordering and even more when the bill came. When he walks away with the bill I see him shaking his head and over hear him complain to his co worker about my tip (15%) which i feel represented the service we got in a generous way. Left a pretty sour taste in my mouth will not be coming back here.

We were heading back to Sonoma county from Marin and came across this gem! We enjoyed the rosè (bottles are super inexpensive), the queso dip, and a charcuterie board that the owner hand crafted for our needs. Excellent service! The ambiance was beautiful, it was the first beautiful day in the area in some time, and you had super cute views outdoors. Absolutely recommend - we will be back soon.

Nice place to meet friends at the end of the work week. Wine was good and background music, Jai Josefs Quintet (playing as a trio) was really nice. Friday evening was busy, with all outside seating occupied by 6pm. Popular place.

Great little spot in my hood! Everyone is so nice here and incredibly knowledgeable about wine. I like to learn about new wine you don't see at the markets and this place has an incredible selection. You would never know by the street that the food here is also very well plated and the perfect compliment to the wines. Do yourself a favor and go to this little neighborhood gem!

You could be excused for believing that all food and drink options in Corte Madera are centered around the highway or in its two big malls because most here are. But once upon a time the center of Corte Madera was elsewhere - pretty much right where Zinz Wine Bar stands today - and the locals appear to be casting their vote for this, the non-mall option. Zinz sits just above an intersection connecting Corte Madera with Mill Valley and Larkspur. As many times as I've been I've yet to sit inside. The tables out front provide a nice atmosphere and front row seats for the excellent live music often featured. That the music is performed at decibels over which one can easily converse makes Zinz a lively, friendly hub. On a recent evening at 6 p.m. the tables were full. Some welcome warm weather coupled with longer daylight hours, a band, and an excellent wine selection (mostly $14-$18/glass) had Zinz feeling like the secret-but-well-known-to-locals spot to be. The extensive listing of wines by the glass (or bottle) is accompanied by food offerings which appear mostly variations on charcuterie/cheese boards. A sweet spot, cost-wise, is the potato chips and French Onion Dip. That, some wine, and a side of the Castelvetrano Olives has served as dinner more than once. You can probably find everything you want at the local Corte Madera malls but what you can't find is what's here at Zinz; all the more reason to stop in sometime soon.
