🏅 GOLD!

We’re excited to share that our 2025 Unoaked Chardonnay has been awarded a Gold Medal at the 2026 New York Wine Classic!

This one feels especially exciting because we’re just getting started. As we continue to grow at Quarry Ridge, we will be entering more of our wines into this competition, and we couldn’t ask for a better way to start!

We’re incredibly proud of this wine, our vineyards, and the work that goes into every bottle.

Help us raise a glass to GOLD!
