“I came as a guest with some friends. I have been a member ever since. I love their wine especially if you love a full bodied Cabernet. Their membership is reasonably priced for the quality of wine. I believe ridge is more expensive but I feel vidovich personally has exceptional wines and their venue is out of this world. I can agree last year they had a hiccup in service and dropped the ball. It was hard to reach them. I'm glad they have re vamped their wine club and made their release party this past fall 2023 a very nice event with music and food. I love their wine so much so I stuck it out.“
“Beautiful view after a long winding drive. Certainly a place one has to seek out and well worth the effort. Fine wine. Friendly people. Bill showed us around and told us how they harvest and process their grapes to produce their wine. I bought 2 bottles of their estate Cab. Hope to visit again one day.“
“My wife and I have been members at Ridge since 1997. It's always been one of my favorite venues and we're what's known as "two club" collectors. We participate in the Advanced Tasting Program to get more accessible wines that don't require multiple decades of storage and we get a case of Monte Bello each year as well.For bigger events, Ridge has moved to an assigned seat, reserved time slot format that, well frankly, sucks. No more bringing the picnic basket and setting up, no more tasting and buying a couple bottles to share. No more trying to get some pours from the "Old Ridge Drinkers" bottles from the 70s and 80s. It's torn the heart and soul out of what made Ridge events special. I think they've realized the error in their ways, to some degree, and events like the tasting on the evening of Jan 18th harken back to what I love about visiting. There was no fixed seating, we were all free to mingle and chat with other patrons to our hearts content!We had a fabulous time Thursday night and really hope they revert back to more like this and less of the events where we just feel like sausage meat being put through the sausage making machine.“
“My favorite winery of all time! Picchetti has a variety of different wines for everyone that are all incredible. I enjoy wine tasting and have had wines from all over during my travels in different parts of the world and I can still say that their wine remains my favorite. I especially like the Chardonnay, the red pavone, Syrah, zinfinandel, cissault, and the dessert wines they offer. The staff are always incredible and knowledgeable about the wine. I've had such great conversations with staff while wine tasting. This winery also sits on hiking trails so we will occasionally go on a small hike and have a brunch afterwards outside with the wine tasting. I loved this winery so much that I became a member.“
