In 1962, Ridge made its first Monte Bello, and two years later its first Zinfandel. Since that time, Ridge has championed single-vineyard winemaking, searching California for those rare and exceptional vineyards where climate, soil, and variety are ideally matched.
Experience a beautiful evening in our dining room featuring acclaimed wines from Ridge Vineyards and the cuisine of Chef Linda Duerr. Maggie Moorhouse, Regional Sales Manager for Ridge Wines, and Doug Frost, of 1900, will guide you through a tasting of six wines thoughtfully paired with a four-course dinner. Along with the esteemed Monte Bello Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, we will feature a newly released Ridge Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon.
