Happy New Year and a heartfelt thank you from Peter, Debbie, Bo and the entire Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant team for your support and patronage in 2018! We have an exciting line-up for the first half of 2019. Check out the calendar below, or check us out anytime at www.fpwm.com.
On Wednesday January 16th, from 4:30 to 7:30, we are thrilled to present TWO rare flights from Ridge Vineyards with Sales Manager, Christina Donley.
The history of Ridge Monte Bello begins in 1885, when Doctor Osea Perrone purchased 180 acres on Monte Bello Ridge. In 1892, the winery was constructed and what would become the legendary Monte Bello wine, was born. Prohibition impeded production in the 1920s, and the winery was abandoned mid-century. It was later purchased by four Stanford University scientists in 1959, and in 1962, Ridge Monte Bello was released again!
Paul Draper joined Ridge Vineyards as winemaker in 1969 and shaped not only Ridge Winery, but winemaking history in California. To this day, Draper remains involved in the day-to-day operations of the winery. He has received many distinguished accolades throughout his career including “Man of the Year” from Decanter magazine and "Distinguished Service Award" from Wine Spectator magazine (both awarded in 2000). In 2005, he received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the German wine magazine, Wein Gourmet.
The very impressive history of Ridge Vineyards is best documented on their website: https://www.ridgewine.com/
Please join us for a very rare set of flights, as we were lucky enough to convince the winery to release some incredible older vintages, and learn more about Ridge’s profound history with Sales Manager Christina Donley.
