Aureole Restaurant, NYC
Tasted Monday, December 23, 2019 by SMHalps with 95 views
A tasting of Ridge's Rhone style and Zinfandel wines. Meaning we skipped the Bordeaux styled wines. We had dinner at Aureole in NYC, and I thought it would be fun to have these wines with their Cheeseburger. We had a white wine starter from WA state, followed by 5 red Ridge wines.
I think all the wines went very well with the cheeseburger and fries. But the group favorite was the 2017 Geyserville. As for 2nd favorite and least favorite, there was no universal agreement among the 10 of us.

Just by accident, once again, I had the 2015 and 2016 vintages on back to back nights. And once again, I feel the 2016s are just a notch behind the 2015s. Still I always enjoy this wine. Vintage after vintage.
