The Optimist

The Ridge: A Wine Club

My goal for the Over The Ridge Club is not only to educate you on all aspects of vineyard growing and winemaking practices, but also to show you how by taking a single cutting from an existing vine, you can create a wonderful gift of love, passion, and a life-long story that started with dirt and ends with a bottle of wine.

—Jarrod Boyle

Alexandria Nicole Cellars welcomes you to our wine club, The Ridge. As a member of The Ridge, you can share in our passion for wine and our dedication to the overall enhancement of the wine experience through wine, food, family, and charity. We offer two membership levels:

* Over The Ridge Series
* The Vineyard Series

We hope our wine clubs will enhance the involvement of all our friends at Alexandria Nicole Cellars.

Wine Club - Over the RIDGE Series
Exclusive One-Time Membership Fee; $5,000

A wine club like no other. A very limited, always changing, adventuresome wine club that is designed to take the overall wine experience to an extreme level. So extreme, you won’t believe it until you live it!

Here is your chance to become one of the Founding Members of the Alexandria Nicole Cellars Over The Ridge Wine Club. This is a unique opportunity to engage in every aspect of wine making and viticultural practices. Your experience will stretch over a two-year period, with quarterly events at our estate vineyard Destiny Ridge overlooking the Columbia River.

With the Over The Ridge Club membership, you will literally grow your own vineyard. By the end of this experience, you will have grown a nursery, planted wine grapes, and experienced all cultural practices involving vineyard operations, including the harvesting of those grapes in your care throughout the season and creating hand-crafted wine from them.

You will have the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the winemaking procedures, including crushing, de-stemming, fermentation, pressing, racking, barrel selection, yeast stains and trials, bottling, labeling, and packaging selection. We guarantee that you will have a fuller knowledge of what happens in the vineyard and how it correlates to quality in the wines. As well as secrets in the winery that correlate to quality in the bottle.

The result will be 10 cases of wine that you can share with your family and friends, and the experience of a lifetime. Your guide for this journey will be Alexandria Nicole Cellars CEO Jarrod Boyle.

Benefits Include:

* 10 total cases of wine created with your very own hands
* 25% discount on most Alexandria Nicole Cellars wines
* 20% discount on all winemaker's dinners and special events
* Two tickets to the Annual Destiny Ridge Vineyard’s A Night Out steak and lobster benefit dinner and auction
* Opportunity to pour your wines at the 2006 Destiny Ridge Vineyard 6th annual A Night Out benefit auction and dinner
* Updates by email about winery events and upcoming wine releases
* Special training and educational experience pertaining to winemaking and viticulture

This club is limited and exclusive. It offers fun, education, and challenges. However, please remember that you are on a working farm, so high heels will be extremely difficult to walk in and neckties may get caught up in the cordon, meaning we have to leave you there until harvest.

With the Over The Ridge Club membership, you will literally grow your own vineyard. We guarantee that you will have a fuller knowledge of what happens in the vineyard and how it correlates to quality in the wines, as well as secrets in the winery that correlate to quality in the bottle.

There is an old expression that the best thing farmers can put on their field is their shadow. This means being out in the field and observing what is happening.
