RISING STAR WINES
with Owner - Peter Heirs Tuesday October 7 6pm
|
| During the past year we've featured guest hosts from many divisions of the wine world, such as winemakers, owners, wine journalists and master sommeliers. This month our guest host is Peter Heirs, owner of Rising Star Wines.
Rising Star is a boutique distributor, that specializes in finding high quality, small production wineries. Peter follows the journeys of unknown winemakers all over California, and lands them for his distinguished company before they becomes stars in the mainstream.
For this dinner we will be featuring some of the hottest wines on the scene these days, including the rare Peay "Hirsch Vineyard" Chardonnay, and the very limited Corte Riva Cabernet Franc.
Come and join us for a terrific dinner, and hear the stories of these young artists, and get a glimpse behind the scenes of the winemaking business.
Our Wine Dinners are held in our private banquet room with no more than 32 guests, to insure a special evening for all.
Please make your reservations early, as dinners sell out quickly. A waiting list will be available when the event is fully booked.
Call 408-395-6434 for your reservation today. |

Peter Heirs
Sommelier/Sculptor
Peter Heirs has had a long and illustrious career in the wine business, starting as a sommelier in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He moved to Carmel to become the Wine Director at the Highlands Inn, where he shaped their Grand Award winning wine list. During that time he oversaw all wines aspects of the Annual Masters of Food and Wine Festival.
He then turned his talents towards quietly building a small, but renowned, boutique wine company that specialized in finding the finest small producers of world class California wines, hence the name "Rising Stars". Many of these wines have gone on to become cult wines, such as Miura and Peay.
Since sleep is apparently not an issue for Peter, he found the time to continue his original passion of sculpting, and his striking wood and steel pieces have been exhibited in prestigious galleries in Carmel, Sante Fe and San Francisco, and pictured in Architectural Digest. He will be exhibiting some of his work at the dinner on this night.
