November First Friday

November 5, 2010

Location: Monte Bello

We happily invite you to the November 5th edition of First Friday! This time around (and perfect timing for the upcoming holiday season, might I add!) we’ll be looking at the new ATP offering, the 2006 Lytton Estate Syrah/Grenache. With only 44 barrels produced, this complex wine that seamlessly reconciles the darkness and depth of Syrah with the brightness and spice of Grenache is perfectly positioned to join the delicious pantheon of previous small-batch Rhone varietal offerings in the Ridge portfolio. This event also affords Ridge the opportunity to launch our participation in a wonderful charity endeavor; throughout the month of November, Ridge Vineyards will be donating $1 for every bottle of Syrah sold through our tasting rooms to help fight childhood pneumonia. Ridge joins Rhone Rangers and the Gavi Campaign in this very important cause, and we look forward to your participation! Shipment Pick-Up Details: This wine will be available for pick-up for our ATP members. An RSVP must be submitted no later than Friday, October 29, to do so. If you do not RSVP by this deadline, your wines will be shipped. The event runs from 4-7pm at the Monte Bello Tasting Room (Cupertino) and all day long (11am to 4pm) at the Lytton Springs Tasting Room (Healdsburg). Please note that while this is a Member Event, we are more than happy to host guests of our members as well!
