Gary Eberle Wine Dinner - October 11
On Tuesday, October 11 we welcome back Gary Eberle for his annual dinner at The Carlton featuring his award winning wines from the Eberle Winery in Paso Robles.
A native of our region and a player for Penn State in the 60’s, Gary has enjoyed an outstanding career as the co-founder of the Paso Robles appellation. For 25 years Eberle has remained one of the highest award winning wineries in the United States - which is amazing when you consider they only produce 25,000 cases each year! Gary is a great host and we always welcome his visits! Please join us to celebrate his success and enjoy the fruits his craft!

West Coast Showdown Wine Dinner - September 30
On Friday, September 30, Lee Kuehn from Vintage Imports will present a West Coast Showdown! Each course will feature two outstanding wines - one from a region in California versus a wine from either Washington State or Oregon. Once again, we have some highly rated wines - five over 90 points - but the real desire is to compare interesting wines that perhaps you’ve never sampled.
Nine distinct wineries are featured! This is the second recent Wine Dinner conceived during our summer vacation! Lee, our oldest son who has been doing our home wine inventory since he was 11, was also the host of our recent sold out Duckhorn/Frog’s Leap Wine Dinner. We are proud of his success in this industry and appreciate that he always brings something interesting to consume with Sunday dinners!
