SFGate is running a nice little article about Ridge and Paul Draper in today's Wine section. I noticed it in the paper version of the paper (I know, odd to call it that, considering it came first) when I was on the commute home because someone else on the train was reading it and it caught my eye.
I have loved Ridge for a long time (in the Bay Area here Paul Draper and Ridge are legendary, whether you like what Draper does or not), and not only because their library-card labels are a UI design geek's dream. They make some really good wines, too, and are proof that blends are not cheap things done to get away with making wine from cheap grapes. If anyone can prove that you can blend wines thoughtfully and for a reason, it's Draper.
