SEBASTOPOL, Calif. — One Sebastopol-based winery is honoring Lunar New Year with a special bottle of brut. In fact, it’s a yearly tradition.

Each year, the world-renowned Iron Horse Vineyards produces a special sparkling wine to commemorate the occasion. This year, they developed the vintage brut called, “Dragon.”

The family-owned, pioneering estate winery was founded in 1976, specializing in celebrated sparkling wines.

“We’re 13 miles from the coast,” expressed Sterling. “The ocean is very important, that’s what gives us our cool weather, so that we can make sparkling wine.”

The unique, handcrafted bottles have been cherished worldwide.

“Our wine has been served at the White House for 38 years,” expressed Sterling. “We are all about evolution…if we can think of one thing to do that’s exciting, exhilarating, stimulating, and delicious, then we’re just going to go for it.”
