We’re so excited about the opportunity to make wine out of the beautiful Pinot Noir grapes from Ted Klopp’s Thorn Ridge Ranch vineyard (renown wineries such as Kosta Browne Winery, Freeman Winery and Inman Family Wines make wine out of these same grapes!) that I’ve decided to write a grape-to-glass diary from the perspective of a winemaker’s wife.

A couple of weeks ago, I’d been invited to a luncheon of the Russian River Valley Girls, a group of women who are active participants in grape growing and winemaking. I was excited and nervous, hoping I would make a good impression and not make a fool out of myself. Unfortunately, that was not to be.
