Tuesday 28th October
Ridge Vineyards is one of California’s true icons - producing benchmark wines for over 140 years. Founded in 1885, Ridge became renowned for its old-vine Zinfandels and single-vineyard Cabernet blends, with their flagship Monte Bello often hailed as “America’s First Growth.”
We’re thrilled to welcome Katie Blakley, Ridge’s International Sales Manager, to The Old Bridge for a special tasting and dinner. Katie will guide us through Ridge’s philosophy and wines - from their elegant Chardonnay to their celebrated Zinfandel blends, finishing with a mature vintage of Monte Bello.
The menu has been created to match each wine, making this an unforgettable evening. Ridge rarely hosts events like this, so we expect high demand - book early to avoid missing out!
