Wine
Tasting with the Winemaker Why does wine and cheese go so well together? They are both fermented, sure, but the affinity goes well beyond that. Sit down with Winemaker Melanie Neucall and Rivendell owner Robert Ransom and learn to taste the Rivendell way! Over the course of an hour and a half, we'll taste at least 6 wines and pair each with a cheese from one of our outstanding local cheesemakers. Goat cheese with sauvignon blanc, merlot with grass-fed raw cow's milk cheese - we'll taste some great wines, discover some great combinations, and have some fun. And your tasting glass will be yours to take home.  CLICK
