High on Monte Bello, looking down on Silicon Valley, is Ridge - one of the area's best wineries. We visited it last Saturday with
saffronrose and
spikeiowa, fellow oenophiles who were happy to taste old favourites and new vintages with us again.

The Monte Bello vines curve over the mountaintop, a mix of old and new vines, still dark from the cold of the winter and ready for the promise of spring.

A fitting image for the spring equinox.
