Barry Sterling, Founder of Iron Horse Vineyards, Dies at 90

His death came 40 years after the attorney-turned-vintner opened his winery on his 5oth birthday.  His Iron Horse sparkling wine was served at the Geneva Summit meetings between U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev which ended the cold war, and the wine has remained a regular at White House dinners and receptions ever since.
