The annual Taste of Ripon wine stroll saw crowds going from shop to shop sampling wines and enjoying the finger foods that were included in the frigid evening. The attendance was more than twice of that recorded last year.A small Storer Transportation bus traveled from one end of Main Street to the other for those who needed a lift to far-away shops in the Schemper’s Hardware Shopping Center a mile away.The event was a sellout with some 400 wine glasses donated by McManis Family Vineyards laid out on tables at the Ripon Library’s meeting room with strollers crowding in the doors at 7 p.m. sharp to confirm their registration and get their glasses. The meeting room was staffed by chamber board members and staff.
