In addition to providing the opportunity to pull out those "special occasion" wines I tend to look forward to opening, it is also the holiday best suited to my temperment, belief structure and inclinations toward feasting. More importantly, it provides a symbolic ...

Lately I’ve been hearing alot of talk about what wines go best with Thanksgiving dinner and I gotta say that for most folks Tempranillo is not the first wine that comes to mind, but it should be. I mean, yeah, you could go out and get a Pinot which works most of the time especially if its a fruity s ...

Well, I must say, it’s been a rather nice week in the news for Ridge, and I’m very happy to see that our holiday appeal appears to be bi-coastal, in that both the New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle recently highlighted Ridge wines for their Thanksgiving Dinner companionability!
