]]> Please join us Wednesday, January 11 as we welcome Carol Shelton to The Carlton to sample some extraordinary Zinfandels!  Carol Shelton studied enology at UC Davis and spent years honing her craft at large wineries in California.  In 2000, her and her husband launched their own brand, The Carol Shelton Winery, and chose to focus almost exclusively on Zinfandel.  She’s won countless medals for her wines and has been honored as Winemaker of the Year numerous times. Carol is represented in this region by Barsotti Wines and we’re so happy that Joe could convince her to make the trip to Pittsburgh! This January event will be the perfect antidote for the wintry, post holiday blues! Our dinner begins at 6:30 PM with culinary offerings by Chef Mark Swomley.

David Ramey is one of my favorite winemakers and I was so glad to finally feature his wines on a wine festival eve!  A UC Davis graduate, Ramey made award winning wine at Chateau Petrus, Matanzas Creek, Chalk Hill, Dominus and Rudd before founding his own winery in 1996.  He is all about authentic hand crafted wines that are among the most respected in the world!  If you haven’t tasted these wines – you are missing out on one of life’s true pleasures!

Thanks again to David and all of our guests for joining us on this very special evening!

]]> Last Friday, April 17, Stan “the Wine Man” Lalic returned to The Carlton for another installment of  his “Best of Italy” Wine Dinner series.  Wine Dinners with Stan are always unique and memorable as he works hard to bring great small production offerings from Italy  to our table and this one was no different.

Our focus for this dinner was on Barbaresco and guests enjoyed samples from five special wines – all with ratings between 92 & 97 points!

I want to thank Stan and everyone who came out for an enjoyable and memorable evening!  I hope to see you soon at our next event!
