Ramey Wine Cellars in the 90’s - Friday, June 25th.
A select group of winemakers can be credited with revolutionizing modern day winemaking in California. David Ramey is widely acknowledged to be among the wine pioneers whose efforts helped raise the bar for all American winemakers and brought California to the forefront of the international wine world. Ramey’s groundbreaking work with indigenous yeasts and barrel fermentation yielded a new California style that was richer, more lush and silky smooth than previously known. As a result, he created a benchmark style now emulated by many.
Ramey was traditionally educated at the University of California at Davis but was classically trained with the Moueix family at the renowned Chateau Pétrus. He brought his lessons home and applied them to the grapes he found growing in California’s premier wine regions.After nearly two decades of creating benchmark wines for such California wineries as Matanzas Creek, Chalk Hill, Dominus and Rudd, David Ramey and his wife Carla founded Ramey Wine Cellars in 1996. Not owning his own vineyard, Ramey’s grapes are sourced from vineyards with which he had worked for many years. Ramey Wine Cellars produces authentic, hand-crafted wines made in an Old World tradition--coupled with New World innovation and California terroir. Consistently rated among the best wines in California, the winery remains committed to Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Syrah as its primary
varietals.
The Ramey Wine Cellars selections that you will be enjoying at The Golden Sheaf have all received at least a 90+ rating from either Robert M. Parker or the Wine Spectator. Join George Staikos, National Sales Manager with Ramey Wine Cellars as he takes on a journey of the Ramey treasures.
The "Ramey Wine Cellars in the 90's" dinner will take place on Friday, June 25 at The Golden Sheaf in the Hilton Harrisburg. Reception at 6:30 p.m., Dinner at 7:30 p.m. $130.00 per person. For Reservations Call 717.237.6400. Menu details available.
