Celebrate Spring this weekend at Somerset Ridge. Their wine cellar is fully stocked (Chardonnay is back!) and they have great live music in the vineyard Saturday and Sunday.
Spanish/Flamenco guitarist Jarrod Stephenson returns this Saturday to entertain you on the veranda. The talented Jayson Kayne, a newcomer at the winery, will be singing and playing for us on Sunday.
Its a great time to stroll through the vineyard to see the young green shoots emerging from the vines.
