Randall Grahm, Bonny Doon

Wine and the City chats to Randall Grahm, founder and winemaker at Bonny Doon Vineyard in Santa Cruz, about his ambitious new hybrid project in newly acquired vineyard land in San Juan Bautista, where he plans to develop a super-hybridized vineyard from grapes grown from seedlings then replanted into own-rooted vines, in a marked shift from stylised wines, to wines where nature is allowed to take its course.

Ridge

Wine and the City and West London Wine on tour in California. Part 4: Ridge. We visit the acclaimed winery set high atop the Santa Cruz mountains and are lucky enough to do a mini Monte Bello comparative tasting, beginning with the 2007 and moving on to the exquisite 1999. It doesn't get much better than this!
