Cheers to another great Wine Festival!

"Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy" - Benjamin Franklin 

And we we're happy! Ol' Ben Franklin's quote sums up another amazing weekend here in Telluride during the 29th Telluride Wine Festival. A weekend packed full of tastings, seminars, food pairings, delicious drinks, live music and happy people.

Friday, we kicked off the weekend in style at the 'Toast of Telluride'. We toured the town, stopping in various shops, art galleries, and stores to sample Pinot's, Malbec's, Chard's poured directly from wine producers. This was a great chance to not only taste these amazing flavors, but meet the people/families who actually have a hand in growing, producing, and distributing bottles all over the world. After the "TOT", Jackie Greene and Jason Isbell performed in Town Park and topped off a great day of wine festivities.

Saturday is the wine lover's Super Bowl... the Grand Tasting. Hundreds of people showed up in Town Park and sampled hundreds of wines, delicious appetizers, and tasty spirits surrounded by the beautiful mountains. How could it get any better?!? Concerts by Blitzen Trapper and DeVotchka made it just that much better. Check out more information about Telluride Wine Festival at: http://telluridewinefestival.com/
