Pinot Festival - Madison
2025-11-15 12:00 - 15:00 | Waterford Wine Madison, 6227 McKee Road, Fitchburg, WI, 53719, United States
Pinot Noir : “The most romantic of wines, with so voluptuous a perfume, so sweet an edge, and so powerful a punch that, like falling in love, they make the blood run hot and the soul wax embarrassingly poetic.” —Joel Fleishman, Vanity Fair
Join us for our first festival celebrating the many shades and styles of Pinot.
From what modern DNA testing tells us, Pinot Noir is indeed one of the most ardent, hot-blooded, and gallivanting grapes there is – it is prolific in spreading across the world, through almost every country, and in mutating wherever it goes. Meunier, Gris, and Blanc all sport the Pinot family name. Pinot Noir clones have spread beyond its earlier 50 types, and its crossings have grown to include such far-flung varieties as Chardonnay, Melon, and Pinotage.
From Burgundy to Oregon, Tasmania to Champagne, we’ll be featuring our favorite relatives of the Pinot family from around the world.
We’ll also be featuring the largest number of producers ever to pour at a Waterford Orchard Pointe Festival!
We’ll have Pam Waldon, proprietor and winemaker of Willful Wines, Tom Fitzpatrick, winegrower and Winemaker from Elevee Vineyards, Boyd Pearson of Lemelson Vineyards, and some of our favorite suppliers pouring over 50 wines.
Stay tuned for a full list of offerings, and even more producers pouring! But don’t wait to get your tickets, this one will sell out!

Bideona Wine Dinner @ Canter Inn
2025-10-12 18:00 - 21:00 | Canter Inn, 119 5th Ave, New Glarus, WI, 53574, United States
For decades, Rioja wines were defined by their aging requirements (Crianza/Reserva/Gran Reserva) and the influence of American Oak barrels. While we also enjoy those wines, the wines from Bideona tell a story that is more specific to place. These wines are crafted with the belief that each region, village, and vineyard within Rioja has distinct qualities and characteristics to share through the wine. They focus on terroir, instead of aging and oak. It’s still Rioja, but it’s pure and focused on how the land shapes the wine.
​
On October 12, Jon and Sam share dishes to complement selections from Bideona, while producer Caroline Abbott shares stories of the land, the grapes, and the wines themselves. Join us and get tickets here!

Must Register on Ray’s site to attend: Click here

Ray’s is so excited to welcome back Gus and Paulette Gamba, winemaker and owners of Gamba Vineyards & Winery, for a very special tasting event. The Gambas will present an evening of storytelling, history, and exceptional wine. After a century of selling their grapes to others, the family opened their own winery in 2000, and within a few short years they gathered amazing accolades for their hedonistic Zinfandel based red wines, all while practicing organic farming and using only rainwater for irrigation. Famed critic Robert Parker wrote in Wine Advocate: “Gamba’s name is going to have to be included with some of the stars of Sonoma…”. Here at Ray’s, we are in complete agreement with Mr. Parker: If you love rich and full-bodied red wines, Gamba’s are among the best coming out of California. We are honored to host Gus and Paulette for the third year in row for this intimate tasting experience, and look forward to sharing their remarkable journey with our guests.

2022 Gamba ‘Family Ranches’ Zinfandel
