Guy Drew Vineyards, Unoaked Chardonnay 2009
Thursday, August 19, 2010
My Notes:
I am not a big white wine fan. I would rather drink reds all day long. But... every once in awhile I get ahold of a white that really surprises me. This unoaked Chardonnay was very soft and easy to drink. You could tasting the honey and pear. The mango cut the citrus to give it a sof read more
Guy Drew Vineyards, Gewurztraminer 2009
Thursday, August 19, 2010
My Notes:
Gewurztraminers can be almost as sweet if not sweeter than a Riesling. This one was surprising not that sweet. Yes you could tell it was sweeter than a Chardonnay but not icky sweet. This Gewurz would go well with Spicey foods as well as for Thanksgiving Dinner. This is a great Ho read more
Varaison Vineyards, Bin 405 Merlot 2007
Monday, August 16, 2010
I tasted this Colorado Wine at the Vino and Notes in Woodland Park on August 7, 2010. I was impressed with the winemaker and stayed and chatted for awhile. When I tasted the Bin 405, it was a very different tasting Merlot. It has the smell and taste of a Port but not as heavy. I love the Cherry read more
Guy Drew Vineyards, Syrah 2005

Winemakers Tasting Notes:
Spicy aromas, mouth-watering bright berry flavors, balanced acidity and a peppery, slightly smokey finish. Pair with Colorado Lamb, spicy grilled chicken and any kind of BBQ.
My Tasting Notes:
This very ruby colored wine has medium tannins. You can smell the eart read more
Vino and Notes Wine Festival in Woodland Park Colorado
Thursday, August 12, 2010
Going to a Wine Festival is one of my favorite things to do. There is something about paying one price and getting to meet other wine lovers, talk to the winemaker, and get to taste all the wines available. It is what I like to call "My Happy Place".
If you have never been to a Wine Festival, read more

Vino and Notes is an Annual Wine Festival featuring Colorado Wines. This year Charitable Treasures Workshop was the beneficiary of the event. This is the 3rd year for this event and it is one to attend. It was well spaced and didn't feel like there were too many people. I enjoyed the opportu read more
Colorado Wines: Not just fruity sweet wines
Tuesday, August 03, 2010
Colorado Wines have been around since 1978 when Jim and Ann Seewald opened Colorado Mountain Vineyards (http://www.coloradocellars.com/) in Golden, CO but eventually move their winery production to Palisade. If we look back at history, the first wild grape vines was discovered in 1873 in Estes P read more
BookCliff Vineyards, Ensemble 2007
Monday, August 02, 2010
BookCliff is one of my favorite Vineyards. I first tasted BookCliff's Ensemble at the Lafayette, Colorado Wine Festival in 2003.
This is one of my favorite wines. A full bodied wine that really has a great finish. Has a little more acid taste to it than I remember from my first time. This read more
