Hook & Ladder
Wine Tasting
Tahoe Room
Event Center
Thursday, August 17, 2023
Please join the Rossmoor Wine and Food Society on Thursday, August 17, 2023, from 4:00pm - 5:30pm for a tasting of Hook & Ladder Wines presented by Devin Ruddick, Vice President of the winery. In 1970, San Francisco firefighter Cecil De Loach, and his wife Christine, purchased the prized Barbien Ranch in Russian River Valley’s coveted Oliver Road district. During the early years, Cecil continued his “day job” as a firefighter, while he and Christine delved into their new roles as vintners. After the sale of their acclaimed De Loach Vineyards in 2003, Cecil and Christine moved on to their next project and launched Hook & Ladder Winery just down Olivet Road from the De Loach Vineyards. Named for Cecil’s 17 year career as a San Francisco firefighter, Hook & Ladder is helmed today by grandson, Jason De Loach, an accomplished winemaker who joined the winery in 2006.
The following wines will be served and paired with an appetizer:
The cost for this tasting experience is $45 for members and $55 for guests.
