Masterclass of Ridge Vineyards, including four vintages of Monte Bello, with winemaker John Olney – Friday 14th March
£150.00 – £165.00There are many elements to Ridge Vineyards that mark it out from the average Californian producer. For a start, it can trace its history back to the 1880s, when vines were first planted at Monte Bello, high in the Santa Cruz Mountains. After being abandoned during Prohibition, the site was rediscovered in the 1950s by a group of Stanford graduates with no background in winemaking. Or, as founder Paul Draper once referred to them – ‘a part-time bunch of hippies’. Amazed at the quality of the wine they were able to make, the intrepid clan concluded that it can’t have been a result of what they were doing – it must have been the terroir. As more and more wineries sprung up in California in the 1960s, most focused on grape variety rather than site. Ridge continued to focus on the latter – a cool-climate spot high in the mountains, 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean, that proved perfect for Bordeaux varietals. Today, Ridge makes around 30 different wines, from Mendocino to Paso Robles, but the core trio comprises the much-acclaimed Monte Bello Bordeaux blend, together with the Geyserville and Lytton Springs Zinfandels. We’re thrilled, then, to welcome winemaker John Olney to the Club to host a tasting of all three wines, including four vintages of the renowned Monte Bello going back a quarter of a century. John joined Ridge in 1996, starting at the Monte Bello winery before going on to lead the Lytton Springs site, building a new, largely solar-powered facility made from 3,000 bales of straw (yes, you read that correctly – straw is not only a renewable resource, but has a high insulation value, trapping the night air and keeping the winery cool, thereby reducing reliance on air-conditioning). He became head winemaker and COO in 2021, overseeing all winemaking operations at both the Monte Bello and Lytton Springs wineries. We invite you to join him for a very special tasting on a Friday evening in March.

New Zealand’s finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with Kumeu River – Monday 16th September
£95.00 – £110.00The story of the Brajkovich family and Kumeu River mirrors that of the New Zealand wine industry as a whole, from the pioneering days of struggle to global recognition for wines of elegance and precision. The original business was built from the ground up by Maté Brajkovich and his family, Dalmatian immigrants who arrived in New Zealand in 1938. But it was in the 1980s that Maté’s son Michael (who was to become New Zealand’s first Master of Wine) transformed the business, together with his brothers Milan and Paul. Today Kumeu River stands as one of New Zealand’s – and the southern hemisphere’s – most reputed makers of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We are delighted to have the property’s vineyard director Milan Brajkovich join us for a tasting of what he describes as ‘New World wines with an Old World twist’. Milan manages a total of 40 hectares of vines, including 10 hectares overseen by regional growers from whom he purchases grapes. The core of these holdings are in Auckland, whose cool climate ensures the Chardonnay ripens fully while retaining acidity, lending it both the texture and complexity that the variety can yield in the best sites. And the best sites have certainly been identified over the years – notably in the acclaimed single-vineyard wines, peaking with the superb Maté’s Vineyard and Hunting Hill Chardonnay, both of which will be tasted on the night. In more recent years the winery has expanded its reach to Hawke’s Bay, on the south-eastern coast of New Zealand’s North Island, from where Members will taste three vintages of both its Rays Road Chardonnay and its increasingly reputed Rays Road Pinot Noir. We look forward to welcoming you to sample the very best of New Zealand. The wines we will be tasting: 2019 Pinot Noir, Rays Road, Kumeu River 2020 Pinot Noir, Rays Road, Kumeu River 2021 Pinot Noir, Rays Road, Kumeu River 2021 Chardonnay, Rays Road, Kumeu River 2022 Chardonnay, Rays Road, Kumeu River 2023 Chardonnay, Rays Road, Kumeu River 2023 Chardonnay, Hunting Hill, Kumeu River 2023 Chardonnay, Mate’s Vineyard, Kumeu River 2018 Chardonnay, Hunting Hill, Kumeu River 2018 Chardonnay, Mate’s Vineyard, Kumeu River Please note that we now offer a tasting board of charcuterie, cheese, olives and nuts to accompany your tasting.
