Live Virtual Tasting: Footage Now Available!

April 18, 2011

We very recently presented a live virtual tasting of our new Spring Releases, with winemakers Eric Baugher (VP of Winemaking/Monte Bello) and John Olney (VP of Winemaking/Lytton Springs) weighing in on the new vintages. Moderated by David Amadia (VP of Sales and Marketing), the tasting took place out on the beautiful knoll here at Monte Bello (To see behind-the-scenes pics from the shoot, please click here), and was truly a unique happening.

The event went out streaming live online, but you can now view the archived footage on our website, by clicking here.

If you’d like to experience the gentlemen above discussing new vintages of Estate Chardonnay and Cabernet, plus Geyserville, East Bench, Ponzo, and Paso Robles, as they field questions from online viewers, than you won’t want to miss this!

And speaking from personal experience, as one who has been regularly tasting and showing these new releases, it’s a tremendous roster of offerings, and I think this video can only serve to continue heightening the excitement around the new crop.

Enjoy!

Wine Exports Since 9/11?

April 18, 2011

Are you interested? The folks at VinVino TV were, and while in Dusseldorf for ProWein, they took an opportunity to talk with our very own David Amadia (Vice President of Sales & Marketing) about said subject.

(Video below, which I highly recommend!)

I’m not sure I’ve ever met, nor had the privilege of working with, anyone who can speak to the “business” of wine more effectively; but mind you, this is a skill made all the more intriguing by the fact that David represents a producer (that being us) that is decidedly not a “mainstream” Californian producer; meaning, while he may work the “business” side of the tracks, he of necessity possesses and flexes an innate understanding of all that sets Ridge apart. His conclusion to the interview is particularly intriguing, and I encourage you to give it a watch. Enjoy!
