Hall Winery Special Wine Dinner Tonight!
Please join us tonight to welcome Vintner Kathryn Hall of Hall Wines to savor some of the most exclusive and wonderful Cabernets that you will ever enjoy! Kathryn Hall is passionate, successful and has distinguished herself in the wine world, as an attorney, in private business and in government. She served as the United States Ambassador to Austria from 1997 – 2001! We will sample her Cabernet Sauvignon ’06 – #18 in Wine Spectator’s top 100 – along with the new Cabernet release from 2007. However, her single vineyard offerings – the Bergfeld Cabernet – 92 points ($100) and her Kathryn Hall Cabernet ’07 ($80) promise to be the real show stoppers! Hope to see you tonight to give her a Pittsburgh welcome, enjoy this prestigious dinner and learn about her many interesting life experiences!

Talbott Vineyards Wine Dinner – April 11
Robert and Audrey Talbott settled in Carmel, CA in 1950 and started the Robert Talbott Tie Co. Today, Talbott clothing stores are everywhere and son Robb – in addition to running the clothing empire, operates a super successful winery specializing in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir! Please join us Monday, April 11 when we sample three upscale Chardonnays and three Pinot Noirs from Talbott’s Central Coast Winery.
Although some of the selections are just released and as of yet un-rated, we have three wines that Robert Parker has scored over 90 points! The Carlton has been a big supporter of Talbott wines for many years and I personally have consumed more of their Kali Hart Chardonnay (named for their daughter) than perhaps anyone else on the planet! When you join us for this special Wine Dinner, you will understand the addictive qualities of their spectacular products!
