Last year we asked the question, “Does Ridge matter?” 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.
In today’s wine world there are many choices. 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. The wines by Ridge Vineyards are different, they are full of flavor, flavor of the land from which they are grown and produced. 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. Max Downtown is very pleased to preset
a fabulous tasting & pairing dinner Highlighting the Spring 2018 releases from Ridge Vineyards.
