About Us

The Black Ridge Vineyards team is a powerhouse of passion, dedication, and enthusiasm. Our personal philosophies and talents complement one another to create a perfectly diverse team. These compatible differences allow us to produce a wine that's just as complex as our individual views and backgrounds.

Our team consists of Jim Landes and Fred Faltersack, partners, along with Ashley DuBois, Director of Operations (all pictured below), Ruben Balderas, winegrower, and Bill Brosseau, winemaker. Black Ridge wines reflect the mutual effort by all of these crucial contributors.
