Capital Call Vintners invites you to Middlebrook Farm, just 10 minutes from West Glen, for an unforgettable evening of fine wine and exceptional cuisine in a stunning open-air setting.

Experience a beautifully curated dinner crafted by Chef Aaron Holt, owner of Doolittle Farm and 2018 Iowa Restaurant Association’s Chef of the Year. Known for his hyper-seasonal, farm-forward cooking, Aaron brings his own hand-grown produce—fruits, vegetables, edible flowers, and microgreens—from his family’s century farm in Story City to the table.

Letʼs get crafty with Bree Hunwardsen from Craft Daze at our upcoming Norwalk Area Women's Collective Coffee.

This class includes all materials and step-by-step instruction from your favorite unprofessional craft teacher to make a set of resin earrings, and attach the hardware yourself—plus an unforgettable morning of fun! Craft Daze will provide colorful resin, dried flowers, rhinestones, and more materials to create your own unique and beautiful earrings! There will be over 30 different shapes and styles of earring forms to pick from. Don't have a need for earrings? That's okay, these can be made into a key chain or necklace if you prefer, at no extra cost!

When: July 11, 8–9 AM
Where: Middlebrook Mercantile, located at 4125 Cumming Ave in Cumming, Iowa
Schedule:
Social Networking: 8 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.

Grab your coffee, join the conversation, and connect with fellow women in business. Let’s make 2025 the year of smart money moves!

Join us for an Aging Masterclass hosted by The Good Butcher, featuring Chef Terry Boston and butcher Calvin Schnucker. Learn the differences between dry aging, wet aging, and no aging, and how each method affects the taste, texture, and cooking approach of beef.

Chef Terry Boston, with nearly 40 years of culinary experience in Des Moines, will demonstrate cooking techniques for each style using New York strip steaks. He’ll also share simple, practical ways to prepare these cuts at home.

Calvin Schnucker, owner of The Good Butcher, will discuss how aging impacts meat quality and offer tips for selecting the right cuts. All meats featured are locally sourced from Iowa farms.

After the demonstration, enjoy a family-style meal featuring the prepared steaks along with sides made by Chef Terry.

Capital Call Vintners will offer wine pairings, presented by Guillermo Munoz, Midwest Regional Distribution Manager.

Reserve your spot to learn more about beef aging methods, improve your cooking skills, and enjoy good food and wine in a relaxed setting.
