| New Wine Release – 2005 Black Ridge Vineyards Syrah | |
|
On Sunday, May 20th we released our newest wine – 2005 Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah, made with grapes from Black Ridge Vineyards here in
Los Gatos. To celebrate this event we hosted our first “Pick Up Party” for our local Wine Club members. In addition to being the first
people to try this wine, our Wine Club Members were treated to an assortment of homemade appetizers and barrel samples of a future
release. Black Ridge Vineyards is a carefully tended vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains, only a few miles south of Los Gatos on Highway
17 across the highway from Lexington Reservoir.
We produced 183 cases of this wonderful wine, so it won’t last long! Click here to order. |
