Mike, while we might not always agree over on the Politics page, I’m hoping you can shed some light on some older Ridge wines;)
In particular, the old Langtry Road Clarets.
Do you know if those were made from the original School House Vineyard planted in the 1890s?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Ridge bought the field blend and made a claret out of it for awhile,
so I bought a few bottles on Winebid, and they’re pretty fantastic.
As is the School House Mescolanza Zin blend; one of my favorites.
And additional info greatly appreciated!
David, I do not know the answer to your excellent question, but would like to find out. I’ll look into it.
In the meantime, there is a board member here who’s knowledge often succeeds when mine fails … paging Tom Hill!
