Hmm, Vitis Ridge is a Pinot I'm not familiar with. Any idea which region it's from?
Vitis Ridge is located in Silverton, which is just east of Salem, the capital of Oregon. Yopu can get more information on the winery at www.vitisridge.com.
Well I just have a quick question... I mean me being soo much into wine, I just procrastinate constantly about doing something in regards to entering a contest of my choice.
If anybody here can help me inquire about information for entering that would be great!
-Thanks
Wondering if we would be able to come and recycle your wine bottles after your event. august 28. 2009
