Democratizing Deliciousness
our mission
At Ride & Ridden, we produce appellation-driven wines that consistently transcend the expectations of their price points. We are able to do this thanks to our unique access to a rarefied tier of wine growing partners. We make wine honestly, source the best wines we can find, and employ a minimalist approach to growing, blending, and bottling. We touch every price point, creating wines of precision, power, elegance, and zero pretentiousness. All of this defines our mission: democratizing deliciousness.
rodeo & wine
a perfect blend
To what extent is it possible to contain a beast, refine a fleeting moment, or bottle the essence of a grape? They will always retain elements of the untamable wild within them. That is the spirit of the American West. Understanding and sharing this spirit is our life’s work. Joined together by an overarching philosophy, this unlikely kinship of seemingly disparate disciplines come together to create Ride & Ridden.
