I wish they’d do another batch just for the novelty appeal. I’d love to taste it.

It’s great to hear these stories come straight from the winemaker. Great article!

Thanks for the comment. I had some Ridge zins from the 70s and 80s earlier this year and they were amazing. Write-up forthcoming!

Sadly, I doubt that their *white* zins would quite have that magic…but you never know!

Cheers,

Tyler

That said, when a wine is made well and this one was (as are most of the wines from Ridge) it is pure pleasure
