Party Like It’s 2014: Iron Horse Bubbly

It’s time to ring in The New Year. Enter Iron Horse Vineyards. Iron Horse, one of California’s leading wineries in the U.S. produces prestigious wines, vintage after vintage.

Located in the Green Valley appellation within the Russian River Valley, their sparkling wines have been featured at White House functions during the last 5 Presidential terms, served for the first time at the Reagan-Gorbachev Peace Summit in 1985.

Iron Horse receives high ratings across the board:

92 Points Wine Spectator, 2008 Classic Vintage Brut

91 Points Wine Spectator, 2008 Ocean Reserve

92 Points Wine Spectator, 2008 Russian Cuvee

92 Points Wine Spectator, 2009 Wedding Cuvee

Wine & Spirits Magazine named Iron Horse “Winery of the Year” a total of nine times. And its Ocean Reserve is 100% chardonnay and has a joint venture with National Geographic. In fact: $4 a bottle goes to establish marine protected areas and reduce over fishing around the world.

Robert Whitley, Wine Columnist, Creators Syndicate and Publisher of Wine Review Online has remarked: “ I tasted Iron Horse’s Joy! It’s rich, creamy and toasty, beautifully structured, and exhibits exceptional length, very much after the fashion of a tete de cuvee from a top Champagne house. It is not only the finest sparkling wine I’ve tasted from Iron Horse, it’s the finest California sparkling wine I’ve tasted. Period.”

So as we bring the year to a close, there are many reasons to celebrate great things to come. And don’t forget to bring along the Iron Horse bubbly: There’s also a Chinese Cuvee available to commemorate the “Year of the Horse,” so the festivities continue!

2014: Toasting to all things good!
