Thoughts from Colorado: Denver/Evergreen tasting rooms.

I agree on Carboy. Industrial wines.

This is the impression I walked away with, but they’ve cultivated a nice night time atmosphere.

I’ll be holding on to all of the recommendations in here for our next trip out.

Matt,

We seem to be picking up a few more wine centric spots in Denver recently. We’ve been so swamped with brewpubs maybe the hipsters tastebuds are starting to mature?

New spots downtown:

• Noble Riot
• Barcelona Wine Bar
• Sunday Vinyl, which is a “Record Spinning Wine Bar from Frasca”. Haven’t been here yet but Frasca is one of the top restaurants in Boulder with a highly regarded wine list.

We enjoyed an absolutely excellent dry Sherry tasting at Barcelona. Would definitely recommend anyone to check it out!

Stopped in Palisade yesterday and had lunch at the Palisade Cafe, which I highly recommend, but they also carry wines from every maker in the Grand Valley. Might be hard to see in my photo, but behind the bar are bottles of at least one offering from every local winery.
Great one stop tasting option. They also carry local spirits from Peach St Distillery and beers from Palisade Brewing. I recommend the Dirty Hippie.
