On Wednesday, December 9 (the eve of The Carlton’s 25 birthday) we will welcome Stan “the Wine Man” for the next installment of his “Best of Italy” series featuring great Barolo’s!  This Barolo “blowout” will showcase eight wines that are rated between “91” and “96” points!  Stan’s dinners have been popular for years and it is fitting that he is on hand to take part in our birthday celebration!
