4488: A Ridge Blog

Congratulations to all the winners of the 2010 Wine Blog Awards! A truly excellent crop of offerings showcasing an extraordinary range of styles and content.

That said, and alas, while I am extremely proud to have been nominated in our first year of blog existence, we did not in fact take home the trophy. But, I will confess to being rather charmed by the fact that it was another Santa Cruz-area blog that did so; a nice little nod to our nice little region …
