The history of the wine industry in California is made up of hundreds of stories of memorable characters who came here to follow a dream and try their luck with the grape.
One of the best ways to explore it is with a visit to the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone’s Vintners’ Hall of Fame.
Itself a historical building dating to the 19th century and the beginnings of winmaking in the valley, Greystone houses an intriguing collection of wine country tales. All are told on the plaques in the second floor Barrel Room, which is open to the public to visit.
On giant antique wine barrels, these plaques introduce the characters whose contributions to the wine industry have earned them a place the Vintners’ Hall of Fame, established by the CIA in 2007. Here, you can learn about the early pioneers of the industry, like Charles Krug, the Beringer brothers and Count Agoston Haraszthy, as well as the 20th-century giants, both the well known and the lesser known.
Each year, inductees are selected by a panel of more than 75 national wine writers, critics and historians. This is the fifth year the board of trustees of the Vintners Hall of Fame will introduce a new class of nominees, and the public is invited to join the festivities at the induction, which also provides money for supporting a new generation of winemakers and enthusiasts.
The fifth annual Celebration of California Wine & Food and Induction of the Vintners Hall of Fame Class of 2011 will have a distinctly presidential flavor this year, taking place, as it does on Feb. 21, Presidents Day.
In the spirit of the day, the event begins at 4 p.m. with a reception that will feature hors d’oeuvres from food and wine pairings from past state dinners at the White House.
After introducing the new members of the Hall of Fame, guests are invited to enjoy a walk around dinner, prepared by a team led by chef Walter Scheib, former White House chef and CIA graduate.
Tickets are $175, of which $100 is tax-deductible. Proceeds from the event support the Vintners Hall of Fame and contribute to scholarships for the Rudd Center for Professional Wine Studies at the CIA at Greystone.
It all adds up to an opportunity to be a part of wine history in the making. For more information about the Vintners Hall of Fame, visit ciavintnershalloffame.com.

Philippines wedding planners and wedding reception caterers recommend Clark Philippines as this year’s premier destination for beach weddings and garden receptions. Wedding couples in Philippines no longer prefer traditional indoor venues and hotel ballrooms for wedding receptions in Manila, Angeles City, Subic and Clark Freeport.

Selecting a good and safe event venue in Philippines is not that easy. Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security. This exposes our corporate and private events to risks that are not acceptable to us as event organizers in Philippines.

This hotel in Angeles Philippines has the perfect ambience for a romantic beach wedding and a garden style wedding reception, exactly the kind of wedding venue we have been looking for to get married in the Philippines. Angeles City is near Clark Philippines and just 90 minutes from Manila.

Garden style wedding reception can take place within a few meters from the beach of this hotel in Clark Philippines so guests and observe the ceremony at the comfort of their seats on the table.

It is important to visitor that the family feels safe in a hotel in Angeles Philippines. That is a main reasons that we choose to stay in this hotel in Clark Pampanga outside of Manila Philippines. Many don’t like the hotels in Subic or some of the hotel in Angeles City Pampanga. This highly recommended hotel in Angeles city Clark Philippines does not make them comfortable and secure.

Traffic along the North Expressway NLEX from Manila to Clark is always light and the new Subic Tarlac Clark Expressway ScTex takes visitors straight into Clark Freeport without going through any towns and cities along the way.
