Triple Creek Ranch and Merry Edwards Winery kicked-off the Spring Vintner Event Series with a most successful weekend from May 8-11, 2014. On the opening night, Thursday, Merry and Ken met with guests in the rooftop lounge. The 2012 Russian River Sauvignon Blanc and 2010 Russian River Pinot Noir were poured throughout the event. On the following night, the Triple Creek Ranch Chefs created a beautiful 5-course menu that was paired with Merry Edwards wines.
