Inaugural Lunch wines

by Jon Peterson » Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:00 pm

It was very nice to see wine bottles on the sideboard during yesterday’s lunch on Capitol Hill immediately after the inauguration. I understand that there were three wineries represented and that all were California wines. Does anyone know off hand which wineries they were?

I believe the menu (though not the wines) were after Lincoln's inaugural luncheon

Lincoln probably drank more interesting wine.
