America has always celebrated the ‘PIONEER SPIRIT’ of the people that have made our country great. Like so many of the first settler’s of this new country there has always been a calling for a select few to take the advice of Horace Greeley and “Go West Young Man”. This month we celebrate the pioneer spirit of one of Pittsburgh’s own, Gary Eberle.

Gary Eberle grew up in Moon Township and attended Penn State University where he excelled in both academics and athletics playing for Penn State under Coach Joe Paterno. After receiving his Bachelor’s degree, Gary began pursuing a graduate degree in cellular genetics at LSU. It was here that the passion for fine wine and knowledge came together resulting in a move to California and attendance at University of California at Davis.

Gary was particularly interested in the Cabernet Sauvignon grape and in 1979 he produced the first vintage to carry his name. Thirty years later we can appreciate the efforts of his hard work and winemaking passion.

Eberle Winery continues to thrive, remaining one of the most honored in California. The Pioneer Spirit.

The Paso Robles AVA ( American Viticultural Area) is one of the finest red wine areas in California. To guide us through the evening samples we welcome our good friend Mike Gonze from Dreadnought Wines. A pioneer in his own right, Mike is the President of Dreadnought Wines where he has been educating and serving the Pittsburgh wine
community since 1986. Please join us on Friday, April 9th as we celebrate the ‘PIONEER SPIRIT’ with a great line-up from Eberle Winery presented by Mike Gonze .

Reserve your place for $20.00 per person for members. Guests are welcome at $23.00 per person.
