Sommelier Suggestions
Riesling…Just Try It!
What you may experience may surprise and challenge what you think about this wine. No other grape variety demonstrates the precision of flavor and expression of place as strikingly as Riesling. From bone-dry, finely etched, and mineral driven “Trocken” styles to the perfectly balanced fruit-acid duality of the off-dry “Feinherb” or “Kabinett” versions, or even the hedonistically sweet “Berrenauslese” dessert wines, few wines pair well with such a wide variety of foods as does Riesling. Pair a dry “Trocken” with your Hamachi sashimi or a lightly sweet “Spätlese” alongside a Jamaican jerk pork. The point is: JUST TRY IT! You may just discover your new favorite wineGermany

Ridge Vineyards…A Return to the Classics
Since 1885 Ridge Vineyards has been producing some of California’s most iconic wines. Deploying a strict “PreProhibition” (non-industrial) style of wine making along with a commitment to a “hands off” approach, Ridge wines display a sense of place and an intensity rarely matched in the world of wine. From pioneering the “single vineyard” approach in the 1960’s, to the use of native yeast during fermentation and a philosophy of transparency rarely seen on other wine labels, Ridge continues to be a simulacrum of consistency, quality, passion, and prestige. Few other California wineries boast a longer history and consistent quality level as does Ridge Vineyards. But don’t take my word for it…taste the history and pedigree for yourselfChardonnay
