The 2025 IW&FS Annual Meeting

Set against rolling greens,  peaceful fairways and Lake Tahoe as the backdrop, the evening unfolded with an effortless blend of sophistication and warmth. White-linen tables overlooked the 18th hole, where guests gathered in good spirits, their conversations flowing as easily as the vintages in their glasses.

There’s something wonderfully intimate and unpretentious about discovering great wine in unexpected places—and such was the charm of our End-of-Bin Wines.  These weren’t your standard vintages. They were the forgotten gems, the last of a beloved label, the overlooked oddities that deserved one final toast. Paired thoughtfully for our buffet this dinner set a great moment in the springtime in beautiful Lake Tahoe, Incline Village NV.
