Russian Cuvee from Iron Horse Vineyards
The fabulous Russian Cuvee Sparkling from Iron Horse Vineyards, Russian River Valley (1 case)
Russian Cuvée commemorates the style of sparkling Iron Horse created for the historic Reagan - Gorbachev Summit Meetings, which ended the Cold War. This is the richest of the Iron Horse Sparklings, yet still technically brut level dry. An ideal toasting wine, it has been served at the White House for five consecutive presidential administrations.
