Iron Sommelier 2022 Presented by AUTOSOL® to be held on November 9 at The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston
Houston’s premier wine tasting competition is back in-person and better than ever! On November 9, the city’s finest sommeliers will be put to the test for the title of Iron Sommelier.
Benefitting The Periwinkle Foundation, guests are invited to a private setting at The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston. Competing sommeliers will select three wines which focus on a particular wine region, grape or style and personally present the wines they are pouring, while conversing with guests as they taste and compare. A panel of judges will rate wine choice, presentation, creativity, and knowledge of their wine selections.
Underwriters will have the opportunity to vote for the Underwriter Room Award while all guests may cast their “corks” for the People’s Choice Award. Guests will have access to an exciting wine pull, auction, raffle, and children’s art sales.
Sommeliers competing in the 2022 competition include: Zachary Newman – Bludorn; Justyna Brewczyk – Everywine; Andrés Blanco – Le Jardinier; Trevor Wiedeman – MAD; Evan Ortiz – March; Skyler Ring – Mastro’s Steakhouse; Chris Havens – Pappas Bros. Steakhouse; Dennis Vawter – River Oaks Country Club; Hector Ramirez – Sonoma Wine Bar; Adele Corrigan Wade – 13 celsius Wine Bar; Anthony Garza – Trattoria Sofia; and Kelly Voelkel – Vinology and Bombetta.
