The Castle Rock Colorado Wine Festival happened this past weekend on July 23rd. This was the 2nd time I have attended this event. The first time was probably about 3 or 4 years ago.

Dithyramb 2008 Bromios
Saturday, February 05, 2011
Winemakers Notes:
Just as Dionysos Bromios thunders and rumbles and roars, this blend fills your palette as you'd expect from a big red wine with a bold mouthfeel, combining complex acids with rounded full tannins. And despite the intensity this wine is very smooth and well integrated.
