Atlanta, Georgia – On Thursday, June 28, 2018 at 7 p.m., City Winery will host an Iconic Women Winemakers event celebrating women winemakers with tastings of six different wines crafted by some of the most talented women in the industry. Hosted by City Winery’s Assistant Winemaker, Faith Drew, certified Sommelier Briana Pope-Pettis, and Stephanie Northrup, guests are in for a delicious and educational evening that includes a special tasting of Faith Drew’s very own 2017 Stainless Steel Chardonnay, made on-site at City Winery Atlanta.  Drew will also unveil for the first time her new Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
