We always expect good things when news from The Ritz-Carlton rolls into our inboxes, and this latest announcement is no exception.

This week we heard the word that The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay is rolling out the latest lineup in its ongoing Vintner Series, including some Napa Valley names that we know and love.
