Steve McIntyre, owner of McIntyre Vineyards, will be at the event introducing his home estate’s limited release wines during this exclusive dinner. McIntyre stands out, even among the unique personalities of the Santa Lucia Highlands. He is a rare combination of grower and winemaker, having earned degrees in both viticulture and enology. After years as a winemaker at Smith & Hook, he purchased a neighboring estate in 1987, that was to become McIntyre Vineyards. Along with consulting winemaker Byron Kosuge, he has been able, with his own McIntyre label, to bridge the traditional disconnect between grower and vintner – employing a “minimalist” approach, allowing the vineyard’s true character and terroir to shine through in the finished wine.
“This wine is excellent!” said Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Waikiki General Manager Bill Nickerson. “We are very fortunate to be able to feature these limited release wines and also have Steve present at our event! Every wine aficionado should come to this event – we’re certain the 24 seats will fill-up fast.”
