On Wednesday, January 11 please join us as we welcome Carol Shelton to The Carlton to sample some extraordinary Zinfandels! Carol studied enology at UC Davis and spent years honing her craft at large wineries in California.

In 2000, Carol and her husband launched The Carol Shelton Winery and chose to focus almost exclusively on Zinfandel. She's won countless medals for her wines and has been honored as Winemaker of the Year numerous times!

Carol is represented in this region by Barsotti Wines and we're so happy that Joe convinced her to make the trip to Pittsburgh! This January dinner will be the perfect antidote for the wintry, post holiday blues!
