Paris-Inspired Food & Wine

As the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympic Games commence in Paris, we are taking inspiration from the host country to build a delicious spread of appetizers. With a rich legacy of fine food and wine, France offers all the elegance and flavor you could want, whether you’re enjoying the games alone or hosting watch parties! Celebrate the national pride and elite athleticism of the olympics while savoring Paris-inspired pairings.

Pastries & Confections -

Get lost in all the flaky layers of a buttery croissant or a Pain Au Chocolat. We might reach for a buttery chardonnay, but if you want to enjoy these in proper parisian style, coffee is the perfect pairing. Consider making Gougères for something light yet savory (and addicting!). To take it in a sweeter direction, the picturesque Eclairs and Macarons of French bakeries deserve a spot in your lineup as well!

Good Bread & Good Spreads -

It’s that simple. We recommend that you select a perfectly crusty baguette from a local bakery, and don’t skimp on high-quality French butter. You won’t regret it! Add a light sprinkle of Fleur de sel to unlock all the nuanced flavor of these simple ingredients. For a more complex topping, a Provençal Black Olive Tapenade offers flavors we can’t get tired of, especially on toasted high-quality bread. 

French Cheeses - 

Any conversation about French cuisine is incomplete without the luxurious cheeses, loved all over the world. For your cheeseboard, offer a range of characteristics! We recommend Camembert or Brie for a soft cheese, both of which are especially good when baked and paired with a tart berry jam. Cheeses like Munster and Comté offer approachability and pair perfectly with just about everything. If you’re craving something with some funk or earthiness, go for a Roquefort or Chèvre. If you're focusing on cheese, then wine is non-negotiable. 

Select the wines you love -

Many of your favorite wine varietals find their roots in France. Some of these wines retain their old-world style, while others have taken on a unique Californian flair. Either way, these wines are ideal for occasions of all kinds and will pair well with the foods explored above! 

White Wines - 

It’s warm outside! We recommend reaching for a crisp and tropical Sauvignon Blanc or a refreshing and buttery Chardonnay. 

Bordeaux Classics - 

The Bordeaux varietals are among the most famous. To honor these, open up a Reserve or Jewel Cabernet Sauvignon or a Jewel Petit Verdot.

Bordeaux Blends - 

We take inspiration from the many delectable blends borne by the Bordeaux varietals. We recommend our Cuvee Dray, which is a Cabernet-forward Bordeaux-style blend. Alternatively, you can elevate your spread with the elegant and exclusive Odyssey Red Wine, a blend created in the style of right-bank bordeaux blends and celebrating the history of the Ruby Hill estate. 

Other French Varietals - 

We would be remiss to exclude other French varietals. There is still much to enjoy outside of Bordeaux! Enjoy a Petite Sirah from our Reserve or Jewel Collection, or open a Riverbed Red, our club-exclusive blend of Cabernet, Syrah, and Petite Sirah. 

We invite everyone to explore the food and drinks above to find their favorite combinations! Let us know your Bronze, Silver, and Gold @rubyhillwines on Instagram.

A July Sunrise in the Vineyard

Every year, July brings sunshine and heat into the vineyard. This week, we stepped into the vineyard in the picturesque morning hours to catch the beauty of this season as the sunrise spread across each block of the estate. Scroll along this gallery to join us!

These young Cabernet vines are thriving. Later on in the growing season, we will drop fruit from the vines and leave only a few clusters so the vines can concentrate the flavor and health of the clusters that remain. 

Across the estate, the fruit has set into healthy green clusters, which will continue growing before turning into their mature colors later on in the season.

Most of our blocks still have a full canopy of leaves. We will strategically remove leafy growth later in the season to aid ripening, but during our current heatwave, the fruit has shelter!

The vineyard is a place of peacefulness and serene movement. We captured this pinwheel of morning light bursting through one row, dappling sunshine across the soil. 

These healthy Zinfandel clusters have a beautiful vantage point on the estate, nestled in between owl boxes and the peacock patch.

It is always a delight to see vines as happy as this Cabernet Sauvignon, growing without hesitation. 

These juvenile Petite Sirah clusters are right at home in the sparkle of light in the morning haze. 

What’s a California vineyard without a deliciously reliable Cabernet Sauvignon? These gorgeous vines help make it possible. 

These robust Sangiovese vines are full of potential and promise for the harvest season. Sangio lovers, rejoice!

A closer look at the Sangiovese shows just how prolific and happy this varietal is in our vineyard. 

The golden glow of sunrise brings out the best in our vineyard, particularly in this season. Thank you for joining us for this virtual walk!

Want to see the beauty up close for yourself? Our popular MCVE Bus tour takes you behind hte scenes and into the vineyard. Learn more here.

Sweet & Savory Hand Pies for Chardonnay

As the sun comes out, we’ve been reaching for Chardonnay. A California classic, this wine is made for enjoying on a golden day. Of course, we think that all wines deserve a delicious pairing for ultimate enjoyment. This week, we took inspiration from our favorite cold-weather baked goods, but made them summer-ready. Hand pies are perfectly portable, shareable, and delicious. Trust us, if you’re sipping on Chardonnay this summer, then you need to try out these sweet and savory goodies!

Wild Mushroom and Goat Cheese Mini Pies - Sprinkle Bakes

We can’t get enough of this savory combination. With all the right earthiness and comfort, you’ll find a symphony of flavor that still clicks with the fresh, unctuous nature of our Chardonnay. Though store-bought dough is fine, we recommend a homemade all-butter crust. You just can’t beat it!

Apple Cheddar Hand Pies - Baking the Goods

If you’re looking for something “as American as apple pie” then this recipe is for you. Though it’s a twist on a classic, it joins the time honored tradition of making something even more delicious by adding cheese. The rich apple filling settles into the cheesy crust for a new favorite sweet-and-savory treat. 

Peach Hand Pies - Food and Wine

Of course, no roster of pies is complete without something truly sweet. It’s impossible to resist the siren song of summer stone fruit, so we are leaning in with these peach hand pies. Easy to prep ahead of time, these show-stoppers deserve a spot in your dessert rotation. 

With all the right flavors and endless customization options, you can make the most of all the fresh produce from the Farmer’s Market and truly make them your own. Whether you select one of these recipes or you take it as inspiration to make your own, all of these pair beautifully with our elegant and enjoyable Reserve Collection Chardonnay. Keep a bottle chilled and ready, and thank us later! It’s on sale now as wine of the month, so you can shop and save. Click here!

Introducing the Winemaker's R&D Collection

We are proud to announce an all-new exclusive collection at Ruby Hill Winery. Available only at our annual R&D Release parties, the Winemaker’s R&D Collection will feature two new, rare, and distinct wines you can’t get anywhere else. The ticketed release party offers a peek into the mind and process of your favorite winemaker as we unveil two single-lot wines created exclusively for this event. The debut R&D release is a Free Run Chardonnay and a Malbec. These wines will be made only once and are only available at our R&D Release! Only 65 tickets are available, so secure yours today. Read on for more info about the philosophy behind the R&D collection, and what makes the wines in this release so special. 

About the Winemaker's R&D Collection

Every wine you enjoy is part of a story. Each wine is a step in the process of creating the next wine, and it's time to invite our members into the excitement. On June 22nd, we will debut the first wines in our R&D collection, which will feature different single-lot wines each year. These rare and distinct wines showcase our ongoing commitment to uncover the marvelous potential of our estate vineyard and create wines that continuously improve. 

2021 Malbec

We planted our Malbec vines five years ago, and the fruit has reached the superb quality we pursue. This vintage was carefully crafted to emphasize this excellence, and aged in oak for thirty months before bottling. Only 20 cases of this Malbec were produced, so each bottle is a piece of Ruby Hill history—available only in the R&D Release. 

2022 Free Run Chardonnay

A "Free Run" Chardonnay is the cream of the crop of Chardonnay production. Right after harvest, the "Free Run" is whatever comes out of the press naturally, before the fruit is squeezed. A Free Run Chardonnay has a fresh and crisp tartness, with a floral aromatic character you can't get from a standard Chardonnay. To preserve its delicate profile, we treated it in neutral French oak. 

Event Menu

We have selected several dishes to pair with the delicious nuances of the wines featured in this release of the R&D Collection. The menu will include: herb roasted chicken, wild mushroom risotto, seasonal vegetables, caesar salad, and tiramisu. In addition to the R&D Release wines, we will be pouring Jewel Cabernet Sauvignon from our library (2019 vintage), our ultra-exclusive Odyssey Red Wine, and barrel tastings of next year’s R&D release: a co-ferment red blend and a post ferment red blend. We welcome you to enjoy this luscious symphony of flavors.

Members: You're invited to the Release Party of our all-new Winemaker's R&D Collection!

 Click here to secure your ticket and join us Saturday June 22nd, 6:30-9:30 at the Ruby Hill Winery Tasting Room. 

Each ticket includes admission and dinner for two and the four-bottle R&D Release: two bottles of Malbec & two Free Run Chardonnay, which will be available for tasting at the event alongside other specially curated wines.

Five Critically Acclaimed Wines

This week, we are celebrating five new scores from Wine Enthusiast! These critics’ ratings provide a helpful guide to the delicious wines we offer here at Ruby Hill Winery. Of course, everyone has their go-to wines, but we hope this quick guide will give you confidence to explore phenomenal wines and varietals that are worth discovering!

93 points - 2020 Jewel Collection Petite Sirah

This wine is opulent with aromas of black currant, boysenberry and grilled jalapeño. The palate has flavors of blackberry, huckleberry, blood-orange zest and cardamom wrapped around vanilla cream, dark chocolate and grippy tannins. Pair with short ribs. — Tonya Pitts

A truly lustrous and rich varietal, this wine is a stunner, vintage after vintage. Our terroir is particularly well-suited to growing fantastic Petite Sirah fruit, and we spare no expense when it comes to the winemaking techniques applied to our Jewel Collection series. Enjoy this saturated and elegant wine today!

92 points - 2021 Jewel Collection Petit Verdot

This wine is dense, concentrated with aromas of spiced blackberry, boysenberry, florals and cloves. The midpalate has flavors of blueberry, cardamom spice and grilled blood-orange zest intertwined with sedimentary rock, dried tobacco leaf, spicy chocolate and a dry, mouthwatering finish. Pair with marinated tri-tip. — Tonya Pitts

Another standout from our Jewel Collection, this distinctive varietal is deserving of attention and acclaim. A full-bodied classic Bordeaux grape, it is rare to find Petit Verdot bottled on its own, but we are proud to shine a spotlight on this varietal. In addition to this score from Wine Enthusiast, this wine won Double Gold in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. 

91 points and “Best Buy” - 2021 Grapeful Red

This wine is opulent with aromas of blackberry pie, clove, black licorice and potpourri. The palate offers blackberry, cinnamon, vanilla cream and orange blossom honey that slip into tobacco leaf, spicy chocolate and a dry, silky finish. Pair with sausage pizza. — Tonya Pitts

Our classic Grapeful Red is a playful and pleasing red blend you can always rely on. This vintage is particularly excellent, and at $19 per bottle, it has earned the “Best Buy” designation from Wine Enthusiast. Embrace the tie-dye and let the good wine flow!

90 points - 2020 Sangiovese

This wine is supple, fresh with aromas of Bing cherry, raspberry, dried florals and earth. The midpalate has flavors of cranberry, red licorice and chicory rounded out with bittersweet chocolate and a dry finish. Pair with pork loin. — Tonya Pitts

Faithful to its roots as an everyday-drinking Italian varietal, this keen and bright Sangiovese pairs with all of your favorite weeknight dinners. As a delicious bonus, it brings high-quality aromas and flavors so you can enjoy the sense of a fine wine without breaking the bank. 

90 points - 2021 Peacock Patch Zinfandel

This wine is juicy, lively with aromas of blackberry, mulberry and cinnamon-vanilla spice. The palate offers black cherry, orange marmalade, star anise and black-tea leaf wrapped around bittersweet chocolate shavings and a dry finish. Pair with meat loaf. — Tonya Pitts

A true emblem of Ruby Hill Winery, our Peacock Patch Zin celebrates the vineyard ecosystem, including our ostentatious avian friends, the peacocks. Ideal for pairing and gifting alike, this beautiful wine is calling for you!

We hope you’ll visit the tasting room soon to enjoy these remarkable wines. Perhaps you will even find a new favorite!

Cuvée Dray Update

     We recently welcomed the new vintage of our beloved Cuvée Dray into the tasting room! The estate-grown Bordeaux-style blend brings together 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Petit Verdot, and 20% Merlot in the 2021 vintage. A smooth and complex aroma offers notes of blackberry, ripe red fruit, and floral accents. The flavor profile exemplifies balanced mixed fruit in each sumptuous sip. Juicy, elegant, and cohesive on the palate, this wine has a nice tannin profile, silky texture, and a flavorful finish—this wine will hold up for years to come.

     Beyond its exceptional quality and flavor, Cuvée Dray is a passion project of our animal-loving winery. It is our celebration of all of the things that bring goodness and joy into our lives, especially our furry friends. For every bottle of Cuvée Dray sold, Ruby Hill donates $10 to Valley Humane Society to aid them in their mission to spread compassion and companionship through the love of animals. 

Valley Humane Society’s Work 

     Valley Humane Society (VHS) was founded right here in Pleasanton and has served people and pets in the Tri-Valley for over 30 years. With rigorous compassion aimed at increasing welfare and quality of life for every animal brought into their care, they serve with optimism, love, and integrity.  

"Valley Humane Society creates a brighter future for cats and dogs by encouraging and strengthening the bond between people and pets. VHS rescues and rehabilitates companion animals, champions responsible caretaking, shares pets’ soothing affections with people in need of comfort, and supports and preserves existing pet-guardian relationships." - VHS Mission Statement

The Partnership So Far

     Cuvée Dray is named for our beloved winery dog, Draymond. During the lockdowns of 2020, when we needed a way to look toward brighter days, a lot of us turned towards our pets for companionship and much-needed levity. With some extra time on our hands and renewed love for our furry friends, the idea for Cuvée Dray was born. Our Winemaker Jesse painstakingly crafted several blends with names inspired by our four-legged friend, and a label was designed based on a picture of Draymond as a puppy in the vineyard.

     The gorgeous wine and adorable bottle captured the palates and hearts of many. When this project started, our goal was to raise $20,000 for Valley Humane Society and their work to improve the lives of animals and the people who love them. Since this blend’s first release in August 2021, we have had the honor of donating more than $70,000 to Valley Humane Society, and we’re just getting started. We have set a goal of reaching $100,000 donated by the end of 2024! We can’t do it without you.

If you love people, pets, wine, or all of the above, we are delighted to offer you our Cuvée Dray.

April in the Vineyard

Spring has settled in across our estate vineyard. Everywhere you look, you see the verdant signs of fresh growth, as the trees blossom and the birds sing. Come with us through this photo gallery to see the beauty of the estate at one of our favorite times of day: sunrise. 

The early buds and leaves of this Sangiovese give just a hint of what this vine will look like in its full growth later this year. 

The neat rows of vines wait patiently in the cloudy dawn. The colder, rainier spring has given our vines the boost they need to send out their shoots, forming vines, leaves, and buds.

Our Sauvignon Blanc vines grow ambitiously; from week to week they will continue growing up and out until they tower over us.

A ray of light catches the perfect shape of this early Petite Sirah bud, emulating the shape of a grape cluster. 

Some of our vineyard blocks, like this Chardonnay, are already well-dressed in a robe of green leaves, growing fast and vibrantly. 

Other blocks take their time. This beautiful block of Barbera grows at its own pace, spending this season soaking in the nutrients and sunlight it needs to produce fruit later on. 

Because of how we prune our vineyard, some vines in these early stages stand above the rest, a banner of green growth that will soon be joined by the ambitious shoots around it. 

There is something fresh and special about this season, where precious new life springs from old vines. 

We are excited to see what the future holds for the 2024 harvest, but there’s a long way to “grow” still!

Thank you for taking a virtual walk with us. If you would like to experience our estate vineyard in person and get a peek behind the scenes at our production cellar, we recommend checking out our Mello Cielo Vineyard Experience bus tour! It’s fun like no other.

What We're Drinking

If you’re looking for relatable, realistic, and delicious wine pairings, the Ruby Hill staff are the people to ask. This week, we asked our knowledgeable team of wine-lovers to tell us about their go-to wines from our collections, plus what they’re eating alongside it! Come along with us as we dream up a delicious menu for April. 

Sandi - Sparkling Wine
Pairing perfectly with a bubbly personality, Sandi loves a glass of our Sparkling wines. Easy to pair with all kinds of food, she says she’d enjoy it this week alongside ham and potatoes au gratin. 

Ami - Grapeful Rosé
This week, Ami suggests leaning into the springtime vibes with a fresh green salad with pomegranate and grilled chicken, which makes a great match for a lovely and unbeatably fresh glass of our Grapeful Rosé

Sue - Sangiovese 
Keeping with the spring theme, Sue recommends Sangiovese for its delicious brightness. This Italian red meets her table next to angel hair pasta with marinara, along with garlic bread and a side salad. As an extra perk, the Sangiovese is on sale as the wine of the month!

Jeanne M - Intesa 
Without a doubt, Jeanne picks an Intesa, a new vintage of which hit the tasting room this week! The combination of Cabernet and Barbera makes it a positively scrumptious pairing for Jeanne’s recommendation of a mushroom-sausage pizza. 

Paul - Reserve Mirage 
The Mirage is an limited-production blend featured in our Reserve Collection, with a lustrous and balanced flavor profile. Right now, Paul enjoys the Mirage alongside baked barbecue chicken, and we agree wholeheartedly. 

Jeanne S - Cuvée Dray 
Also debuting a new vintage this week, the Cuvée Dray is a dazzlingly delicious Bordeaux-style blend, which Jeanne is pairing with a tri tip, smoked and then grilled. Is anyone else drooling?

Sandy - Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 
It’s hard to go wrong with a good Cabernet. Sandy suggests going all-out and enjoying a luxurious prime rib, which partners like a dream with our Reserve Cabernet. Make sure to use freshly cracked pepper on that steak!

Lauri & Clay - Jewel Petit Verdot 
This elegant wine has become the go-to favorite of many team members. Lauri savors the Jewel Petit Verdot with a filet mignon, while Clay says he’ll go for a tomahawk steak with grilled onions and mushrooms, and a dijon horseradish. 

Craving a glass of your favorite wine? Visit our tasting room or order online to stock up on Ruby Hill wines. Don’t forget to check out our mixed cases for the best deals—these prices won’t last long!

5 Documentaries About Wine

This weekend, we’re waiting out the surprise showers of springtime with some of our favorite indoor activities. Pop some popcorn or grab your other favorite snacks, pour a glass of wine, and immerse yourself in a documentary about delicious vino!

The documentaries are perfect for any wine lover who wants to increase their knowledge and be entertained at the same time. Enjoy a peek behind the curtain into a few areas of the wine world that deserve some attention. From the soil to your glass, so much art, science, history, and more goes into every wine you know and love. Below is a short list of some of our favorite wine documentaries—and a suggested wine pairing, of course. These are not only informational about wine and wine regions, but they are also incredibly entertaining, and we promise you will feel like more of a wine expert after you have watched them. 

Wine Documentaries to Add to Your Watchlist

MONDOVINO - This documentary follows well-known players in the wine world. You will hear about everything from winemaking to marketing and travel to five different continents as they uncover the complexities of the industry. Since the story of wine reaches all over the globe, this film includes a variety of languages, so be sure you are up for reading subtitles. Complete this watching experience with our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. This series will take you on an emotional rollercoaster; you will want something steady, reliable, and delicious to come along for the ride.

● 

A YEAR IN BURGUNDY - The Burgundy region of France is known worldwide for making some of the most expensive wines in the world. In this film, you will follow importer Martine Saunier and seven families as they work through the 2011 vintage. After watching this, you’ll get an even greater sense of how winemaking is far more than what lands in your glass. You will also see precisely why Burgundian wines command their prices. It's not a Burgundy (in fact, it’s a Bordeaux varietal) but we still love the 2021 Jewel Petit Verdot for this viewing. 

● 

DECANTED -  "What does it take to make it in Napa Valley?" Nearly every wine lover knows Napa Valley for its reputation of making outstanding wines, and this film follows some of the most elite winemakers that represent the region, discussing what it takes to craft wines of distinction. Napa Valley may sit in the spotlight, but critically-acclaimed, high-quality wines are also made right here in the Livermore Valley. We are pairing this documentary with 2020 Cuvée Dray, our Bordeaux-inspired red blend that won Best of Class in the San Francisco Chronicle International Wine Competition. 

● 

IT STARTS WITH WINE - The team at Wine Enthusiast created this multi-part series. In season 1, you will visit Uruguay, Argentina, and a neighbor to the east, Bonterra Vineyards. What makes this series interesting is how much they also incorporate each region's unique food and culinary culture as a part of what makes their section of the wine world so unique. Here at Ruby Hill Winery, we value sustainability in all our vineyard practices. Our Peacock Patch Zinfandel is one representation of the way we celebrate the natural beauty of our vineyard and our intentions to preserve it. Sip on this one while you watch!

2017 Petite Sirah - Reserve Collection, Ruby Hill Winery

This excellent Reserve Petite Sirah comes highly recommended, scoring 92 points by Wine Enthusiast. Jim Gordon, critic for Wine Enthusiast, summarized this bold beauty as such: “Big and opulent, this full-bodied wine is jam-packed with indulgent, ripe blackberry and blueberry flavors and braced with tons of fine-grained tannins for a mouthfilling and smooth texture.” You can expect tannin-endowed wines like these to only improve with age, so it’s the perfect time to open that 2017 and get lost in the luxury of each sip. 
Case Blitz Price: $150 | Member’s Price: $125

2019 Cabernet Sauvignon - Reserve Collection, Ruby Hill Winery

Also awarded 92 points by Wine Enthusiast, this wine continues our reputation for phenomenal Cabernet. Multi-layered flavors include the dark fruit notes you can expect, including blackberry, black plum, black cherry, and cassis. Astute wine lovers can also search the aroma and flavors for accents of star anise, earthy forest floor, meaty umami, cedar, and a touch of sweet tobacco.

2017 Cabernet Sauvignon - Riserva Collection, Rubino Estates Winery

This wine was awarded Double Gold in the 2021 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, and offers richly plush notes of black cherry, blackberry, and dark chocolate.

We selected this vintage of Riserva Cabernet from the library and fell in love with the maturity and full-bodied nature of the tannin, with integrated roundness and just the right amount of ripeness. 
Case Blitz Price: $210 | Member’s Price: $185

2018 Trebbiano - Rubino Estates Winery

This light and crisp varietal is a traditional Italian white wine. It is exceptionally prevalent in the old world, but a rare find here in California. A graceful yet subtle profile features notes of tart apple, white peach, orange blossom, and stone. On the palate, it is dry and delicate with pleasant food-friendly acidity, smooth sippable mouthfeel, and mild minerality. Pair with raw oysters with lemon or vinegar, fine white fish in lemon and butter sauce, summery pasta dishes, or uramaki sushi.
Case Blitz Price: $100 | Member’s Price: $75

2019 Ferrario - Famiglia Collection, Rubino Estates Winery

Velvety and elegant, each sip dances with jammy fruit and playful baking spice, all on a rich backdrop of floral accents. This wine is a club-exclusive blend, named in honor of Ernest Ferrario. Ferrario was an Italian immigrant and the proprietor of the Estate Vineyard from 1921-1975. By the mid-twentieth century, the Ferrario family was well-known for their quality wines, especially their Zinfandel. This blend honors the Ferrarios by combining Barbera—an Italian varietal, and Zinfandel—Ferrario’s specialty. The 2019 vintage components are 43% Zinfandel, 29% Barbera, 14% Merlot, and 14% Petit Verdot.
