VIP Tasting Today! 4-6 pmSustainable Wine Producer Mary McAuleyOur Fave 'Crudo' White Pinot Noir & more!
We are SO excited to welcome Mary McAuley for this VIP wine event! Mary launched Ripe Life Wines with Clambake Chardonnay in 2015 and now she has a set of all new wines that we positively love! McAuley attended the Institute for Culinary Education and the French Culinary Institute, she earned her sommelier certification, and then became a California wine producer with a European wine sensibility.
Mary emphasizes that her wines are designated as “single vineyard” wines—allowing her to really get to know the nuances of the vineyard which elevates the winemaking. Like the best 'winemakers' she listens to nature. “I don’t tell the grapes what to do, they tell me what to do”.
Cheers! the Murray family

Ripe Life Wines Moules Blanc de Blancs Brut 2021 750ml |
|
'Moules' Blanc de Blancs Brut sparkling is made of 100% certified sustainable Chardonnay fruit from Lodi Valley, California. The fruit is picked slightly underripe for a bone dry citrusy palate with a crisp yet smooth mouthfeel. Produced in the champagne method, a touch of lemon brioche shines through a wonderful combination of lemon verbena, honeysuckle, green apples and white nectarines. Bright and clean and the ultimate way to whet the palate, ”Moules” sparkling wine is the consummate pairing for raw bar, moules frites, or simple bites at apertivo hour.

Ripe Life Wines Crudo White Pinot Noir 2023 750ml |
|
Made by Mary McAuley at Ripe Life, we are obsessed with her new wines from the 2023 vintage. Clean, dry, crisp and mouthwatering, Crudo white has terrific body and texture, not surprising since it is made from the noble Pinot Noir. Crudo reminds us of a gorgeous French Aligoté (a cross of Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc in the 17th century) with sunny, happy California aromas. Look for lychee, pomelo, ripe yellow grapefruit, minerals and salty stone flavors. It’s wildly delicious & well-made! Certified Sustainable fruit. |

Ripe Life Wines Clambake Chardonnay 2023 750ml |
|
Inspired by summer, Clambake Chardonnay has a crisp, clean style, perfect for serving at clambakes or with raw oysters and lobster rolls. Picked early to produce a drier, fresher expression of California Chardonnay and fermented in stainless steel fermentation, Clambake also has richness and big, ripe fruit flavors. The brand is owned and managed by a local Jersey shore native who sources the fruit from a certified sustainable, dry-farmed vineyard out in Mendocino in Potter Valley with cole and feliz loam soils. Unoaked, balanced, delicious and lovely. |
