Our first regular Chapter meeting of the new program year will be our Annual Networking & Wine Dinner. We are thrilled to be featuring "The Artisanal Wines from Hartford Family Winery."
This event will focus on providing a great opportunity for networking among members, sponsors, and guests; enjoying a delicious multi-course dinner; and tasting some outstanding wines from the Hartford Family’s two distinct labels, Hartford and Hartford Court.
There will be 7 wines featured during the evening (4 red and 3 white) from various outstanding vineyards in Sonoma County representing the best offerings from the Hartford portfolio.
To share about the history of the winery and present these 7 wines, we are excited to have with us Max Murray, who serves as Western Regional Sales Manager for Jackson Family Wines (JFW). Max is also the husband of Hailey Hartford Murray, President of Hartford.
Interestingly, Hailey is the granddaughter of Jess Jackson, founder and long-time head of JFW. Their extensive portfolio of 48 wineries includes iconic names such as Kendall-Jackson, Freemark Abbey, Hartford, Arrowood, Siduri and Brewer-Clifton.
Brian Ruttencutter, our in-house "Somm," worked with Hailey to help select the wines for the evening and will serve as master of ceremonies for the event.
These delightful wines will be perfectly paired with an accompanying gourmet dinner prepared by Executive Chef David Martin of The Pacific Club.
Please join us for a wonderful evening of great networking, excellent wine, delicious food, and a lot of fun!
