Houston’s premier wine-tasting competition is back in-person and better than ever! The Periwinkle Foundation is proud to announce Iron Sommelier 2022 presented by AUTOSOL will be held on Wednesday, November 9, 2022. This year, The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston will play host to Houston’s premier wine competition and tasting which brings together the city’s most prestigious sommeliers competing for the title of Iron Sommelier.
Each competing sommelier will select three wines that focus on a particular wine region, grape, or style, and 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. Justin Vann of Nancy’s Hustle, 2021 Iron Sommelier winner, selected the case of wine that is being sold to further raise funds for the Periwinkle Foundation.
