Last year we asked the question, \u201cDoes Ridge matter?\u201d And with a resounding YES, we featured the new releases and some very special cellar wines from Ridge Vineyards in a delightful tasting and dinner combination. The format was enjoyed so much we are hosting the tasting and dinner once again.<\/p>\n
In today\u2019s wine world there are many choices.\u00a0 Since the late 1950s, Ridge Vineyards has been making extraordinary wines in a natural and traditional manner, something many winemakers left but have come back to.\u00a0 The wines by Ridge Vineyards are different, they are full of flavor, flavor of the land from which they are grown and produced.\u00a0 This is something that can be lost by younger winemakers, but with the guiding hand of Paul Draper since 1969, Ridge is still more relevant today, than perhaps it has been at any time in its many years.
