Recall Ritchie Creek cabs from the 77 and 78 vintages sold at a defunct wine shop in Walnut Creek. Going through cellar this AM, stumbled upon an Albert 2011 Pinot bearing Vinyard as Ritchie Creek Vinyard. Will open tonight with friends.

Had my last bottle of the 77 cab in 93 found at a wine shop in Arlington Tx. It was superb.

I was Pete Minors dental asst when he started working part time with Dr Rhodes after selling his practice in Berkeley to pursue his wine making business. We worked together for 3 years and he was a kind man’s and a great dentist. I visited Maggie and Pete at the winery when they had been there about 2 years. Pete worked 2 days a week in Sonoma and 5 days a week at the winery.

I bought Pete Minor’s dental practice in Berkeley in 1974. My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Pete and Maggie while they were building their house and winery from the stones on the land. Pete was a fine dentist, master wine maker and all around wonderful human being.

When we visit Napa wine country next year, we hoe to see our old friend, Pete and share some wine with him as we’ve done in the past.

You’ve answered correctly another Spring Mountain Pinot producer, Schoolhouse! And another one for our Spring Mountain Pinot producer challenge – Spring Mountain Vineyard.

New challenge – name the one Howell Mountain producer making a Pinot Noir!

Thanks for the article, I love Ritchie Creek, and am looking for some Pinot and Blaufrankisch!
Tough to find, to say the least;)
We’ve poured both ’83 and ’95 RC by the glass at Augustine, and everyone falls in love with the wine at first sip.
As far as other Spring Mt pinot producers, you’re forgetting School House, who has been making Spring Mt Pinot since the late 50s;)
