The Community of Food and Wine

Our video series, The Community of Food and Wine, opens up the discussion of the importance of community in the world of food and wine. In these three videos, Ridge Vineyards’ Chairman of the Board, Paul Draper, explores the connection with friends.

The Community of Food & Wine, Part 1

Longtime winemaker and Ridge Chairman Paul Draper, along with Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein and Manresa Chef & Proprietor David Kinch, reflects on the remarkable way that food and wine can create a sense of community and what it means to express a true sense of place.

The Community of Food & Wine, Part 2

Chez Panisse founder Alice Waters and the RIDGE winemaking team share their insight and experience in part two of the series:

There is nothing more important right now than cooking a meal for friends. Taking the time to set the table, taking the time to choose a wine, eating for pleasure. The ritual of the table is so precious, and it’s terribly important that we think about that.
–Alice Waters

The Community of Food & Wine, Part 3

Thomas Keller, chef and restaurateur, talks with Paul about the importance of using classic techniques to preserve an authentic food & wine experience.

“When we talk about food and wine, we are really talking about sharing. Sharing who we are, what we are, and what we have with others.”
–Thomas Keller
