OUR EVENING'S WINE HOST

Rescue Dog Wines Cofounders Blair and Laura Lott started planning their new life in wine country in 2015. They knew that they wanted to embrace sustainable growing practices and create a new, more rewarding lifestyle for themselves. In addition, the Lotts knew that they wanted enough land to grow wine grapes AND foster dogs. They knew that at some point they also wanted to create high-quality, premium wines. During this period of exploring many of California’s wine regions, it dawned on the Lotts that they could combine their two passions—and Rescue Dog Wines was born!


Fast forward several years and Rescue Dog Wines is pleased to offer a full portfolio of wines, many from their neighbors’ sustainable vineyards or our Lodi Rules Certified Green vineyard in Acampo, California. They’re proud that 50% of our profits support rescue organizations.

Special Guest

Tracy Harrick

Tracy grew up in the Temecula area, where her love for wine was first sparked by the region’s renowned vineyards. With a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, Tracy was drawn to the mission of Rescue Dog Wines immediately after discovering the brand—especially after rescuing a Labrador named Ziggy from Helen Woodward Foundation. Now residing in the Solana Beach area of San Diego, Tracy enjoys horseback riding, hiking, and spending quality time with her family. In addition to working with Rescue Dog Wines, she also volunteers with the Red Cross and enjoys giving back to her local community. Her favorite Rescue Dog wines are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, paired with chicken piccata and grilled filet mignon.

OUR EVENING'S MENU CREATED BY

Eric Stenberg

Director of Culinary Operations

Eric Stenberg was born and raised in Portland Oregon and from an early age food was a focal point cooking with his mother for family meals. Eric left college to pursue a culinary education in California in 1989. Eric attended California Culinary Academy and spent time working with many talented chefs in the Bay area while attending Culinary School.



Eric returned to the Pacific Northwest where he spent the next 11 years cultivating his culinary skills. Eric began cooking for Chef Greg Higgins at the Heathman Hotel in Portland. At this time Chef Higgins was beginning his ground-breaking involvement in causes related to sustainable farming and fishing practices. Eric recognized that Greg was well ahead of his time in designing a restaurant around sustainability, and joined him in his efforts to promote the causes involved. While working for Chef Higgins, Eric was given the opportunity to travel to Alsace, France and work for three star chef Josef Matter at the Hotel Les Voges, focusing on the art of Charcuterie.

 

Eric and his wife Laurie moved to Montana permanently in 2000 to raise their three children and operate their own restaurant, Savory Olive, a farm to table restaurant which was the first one of its kind in Montana. Supporting local farmers and using whole animal cuts on their menu. Food and Wine Magazine ran a feature on Eric- “Story of a Steak, the relationship between Chefs and Farmers in November of 2004. Eric went on to consult on numerous projects in Montana and focus on his role as Board Chairman of the Chefs Collaborative, a nonprofit organization comprised of Chefs, Producers and Foodies who wanted to see a better food system.

 

Eric recently spent two years with Under Canvas, a Glamping operation as General Manager of Food and Beverage at the Yellowstone Under Canvas property before joining the Troon family in January of 2023 at the Wilderness Club in Eureka, Montana before moving back the Coachella Valley when an opportunity with Indian Wells Golf Resort came up as the Director of Culinary Operations.


Eric enjoys his time away from work with his wife Laurie who teaches Special Education in the Desert. He and Laurie enjoy any opportunity they have to go to Montana and spend time with their two daughters and most recently their first Granddaughter. They spend time with their son who lives in the Desert and walking their dogs at the Polo Fields.

BENEFITS AND CELEBRATES

The Mended Hearts Mission


To inspire hope and improve the quality of life of heart patients and their families through ongoing peer-to-peer support, education, and advocacy.

 

Mended Hearts of Coachella Valley was formally chartered in 2001 with operations at Eisenhower Medical Center. They are one of many Chapters of The Mended Hearts Inc, the World's largest peer to peer support group for heart patients and families. Initially, they focused only on open heart surgery patients. In 2007, they enriched their program to include all types of heart patients. Recognizing that thry were missing efforts in the West Valley, operations were expanded in 2011 to include Desert Regional Medical Center. Their support through a group of accredited visitors, all of which have had some type of heart event, go around both hospitals visiting with heart patients and their families. They provide Hope, Encouragement and Education. In addition, Mended Hearts hold monthly educational lectures October-June in partnership with Eisenhower Health, followed by their support group meeting. Lectures are in person and virtually on ZOOM. A quarterly newsletter is published showing events, synopsis of the lectures and personal stories. Mended Hearts special activity is raising funds to offer scholarships to cardiac nurses enrolled in a Bachelors, Masters or continuing education program at both hospitals.
