Just a reminder that our Fall Wine Dinners kick off tomorrow with Iron Horse Vineyards! We hope you can make it to this dinner - I know you will love the food, wine and our wine host Joy Sterling. Here’s the information for the dinner again:
CEO Joy Sterling presents the wonderful offerings from Iron Horse Vineyards at The Carlton on Thursday, October 8. One of Sonoma County’s most prestigious, small independent family owned wineries, Iron Horse was founded by Audrey and Barry Sterling in 1975. Iron Horse had their award winning sparkling wines served at the White House in five consecutive presidential administrations! In addition to highly rated wines and well paired cuisine, you will enjoy our charming host! Joy is Yale educated, a former ABC correspondent and has authored four books! As a second generation owner, she is taking Iron Horse to new heights!
