Willett's Winery & Cellar is thrilled to announce the opening of their restaurant, The Ironstone Room.  Executive Chef Kevin Roecker is planning quite a culinary experience.  Keep visiting this webpage for updates on the opening date and menu.

Ironstone China is a type of stoneware introduced in England in the early 1800's by potters using the country's ironstone to develop a porcelain-like china that could be mass produced.  Eventually, Ironstone China was exported primarily to the United States between about 1840 and 1890.

Dan's mother, Elsie Willett, has been a collector of Ironstone China for many years.  Her collection will be displayed in the Ironstone Room of Willett's Winery & Cellar.
