Try your borscht with orange wine from Italy, enjoy your lamb with Tempranillo from Rioja, have your pork with Carignan from Chile and absolutely order anything with Grower Champagne.
But most importantly, drink what you love.

5 Sparkling Wine There’s nothing quite like Champagne. Once that fine mousse of bubbles hits your lips, even ordinary occasions transform into something special. Created on the northern-most edge of viticulture, Champagne is one of the few wines blended across multiple vintages to ensure a consistent style with familiar flavors year after year. Below, you will find primarily grower Champagne, which is made only by farmers who own their own vines. Not only do we admire their ‘farm to bottle’ attitude, but they also produce some of the most expressive, exciting bottles of wine available.

7 White Burgundy Chardonnay is the most famous white wine grape in the world, all thanks to the Côte d’Or in eastern France. Inspired by fresh and steely Chablis, lush and fruity Mâcon and mind-bendingly complex Côte de Beaune, vignerons have planted Chardonnay around the globe — but somehow nothing compares to the original. Whether you drink it with seafood, duck or just a straw, white Burgundy never disappoints. Chablis:

9 The Loire Valley Often referred to as ‘The Garden of France,’ the Loire Valley stretches from the heart of France to the Atlantic Ocean, providing hardworking French vignerons with countless miles of perfect growing sites. With world-class expressions of Chenin Blanc from Vouvray as well as Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, the Loire is also home to winemakers on the cutting edge of the organic and biodynamic movement. If you’re looking for crisp, mineral-driven whites with fresh citrus flavors and mouth-watering acidity, you just found heaven.

10 Biodynamic & Organic Wine
We are a farm-oriented restaurant. How could we not support these farm-oriented wines? This does not refer to wines with ‘farmy’ or ‘barnyard’ tastes, but rather to wines that are made by people who are as careful with the roots of their vines, and the soil they feed from, as they are with the fruit they eventually give us.
‘Organic’ wine means the grapes have not been treated with anything synthetic: no fertilizers, no pesticides, no herbicides or anything made in a lab. Pests and diseases are dealt with naturally by introducing cover crops, and predators will pick off unwanted bugs and harmful insects.
‘Biodynamic’ winemaking treats an entire farm as a single living organism. Its goal is to actually improve the health of the land and ecosystem through farming.
No chemicals are used at any point, and herbal preparations are used as treatments for the soil. Every important event in the farm’s life is scheduled on a biodynamic calendar based on phases of the moon in order to fit in with the land’s life cycle. Biodynamics results in healthy vines with deeper rootstocks which produce uncommonly expressive grapes with a surprising depth and purity of flavor.
A few important biodynamic producers (denoted with a B) on our wine list are:
Marcel Deiss (Alsace) Eyrie Vineyards (Oregon) Domaine Weinbach (Alsace) Kamen (California) Domaine Ostertag (Alsace) Domaine de Montille (Burgundy) Michel Chapoutier (Rhone) Domaine Trapet (Burgundy) Huet (Loire) Arianna Occhipinti (Sicily) Nicolas Joly (Loire) Joan D’Anguera (Spain) Didier Dagueneau (Loire) Elisabetta Foradori (Trentino Alto-Adige)

13 Germany
German Riesling has long suffered from a clash between reputation and reality. Public perception paints German wine as cloyingly sweet and characterless while the country’s focus on vineyard-specific bottling actually produces wines of incomparable vibrance, elegance and minerality. The following wines showcase how breathtaking German Riesling can be, and how a touch of sugar can make these wines delicious with everything from spicy foods to foie gras.

“A German wine label is one of the things life’s too short for.”
-Kingsley Amis
15 Austria Austria is rightfully celebrated as a standard-bearer in the production of food-loving, mineral- focused zesty Grüner Veltliner and dry, long-lived and powerful Riesling. Often reminiscent of white pepper, lentils, savory herbs and crushed stone, Grüner is a famously perfect match with hard-to-pair foods like greens and asparagus. There may not be anywhere in the world producing as many accessible and terroir-driven wines than Austria; no wonder many sommeliers are advocates for its wines.

16 What is Terroir?
The concept of ‘terroir’ in wine is widely misunderstood. Put in the simplest way, terroir is every natural factor that makes a certain wine taste a certain way. The vineyard’s climate, soil type, aspect and surrounding natural features all play a role in the wine’s final taste and help make that wine special. The concept dates back nearly 1,000 years, when Benedictine and later Cistercian monks noticed that wines from the same grape tasted differently depending on where the grapes were grown. As a result, they began to catalog which grapes did best and where — eventually giving rise to Burgundy’s Grand Cru system.
And really, that sense of place in a wine is truly what makes us fall in love all over again. We drink wine to celebrate its differences. The steely, mineral-driven Chardonnay of Chablis; the earthy, barnyard richness of Rioja; the tar and roses of aged Nebbiolo. Each unique sip takes us on a journey to where in the world it was created — and back in time to the last evening we had the same wine with friends. Over-oaked, over-extracted fruit bombs do very little for us, because that wine could have been made by anyone and just about anywhere. But wines that really show their terroir — that transport you to one special place on the globe with unrepeatable, unforgettable flavors — well, that’s why we drink wine in the first place.
So that’s what we’re trying to achieve in these pages. We offer wines that showcase a clear, flavorful snapshot of exactly where they came from. Wines that could only come from one place. Like our Colorado-centric menu proudly displaying the very best from our state, we want our wines to offer a genuine, delicious trip into the best vineyards around the globe.
17 Italy & Other Old-World Whites From Italy, where food and wine go hand in hand, to just over the border in Slovenia, where the color of the grape does not alter the vinification, over to Spain and Portugal, where tradition reigns supreme, these wines bring everything from freshness and salinity to unctuous nuttiness. Enjoy exploring an array of white wines that the old world has to offer.

20 Red Burgundy Andre Tchelistcheff famously said, ‘God made Cabernet, whereas the Devil made Pinot Noir,’ and truer wine words have rarely been spoken. There’s no wine region in the world more maddening, beautiful, expensive, fickle or jaw-droppingly delicious than the Côte d’Or. With nearly 2,000 years of wine-growing history, the ‘Golden Slope’ produces bottles of Pinot Noir that exhibit aromas of sweet red cherry, button mushroom, pencil lead and plenty more.

24 Bordeaux With more than two centuries of governmental oversight, powerhouse varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, plus billions of dollars spent every year around the globe, Bordeaux is positioned at the center of the wine universe. Love it or hate it, even wine novices have heard of names like Margaux, Pauillac and Pomerol — and their astronomically high price tags. But with one sip of these age-able blends showcasing flavors of black cassis, cedar and tobacco from both the left and right banks of the Gironde Estuary, it’s a little easier to see what all the fuss is about.

26 Unique Reds from the Old World What these lesser-known regions lack in fame they make up for in quality. Without a name like Bourgogne or Bordeaux on their bottles, winemakers have to produce delicious wine in order to sell it-and without such strict governmental oversight, these regions often produce styles and blends that are difficult to find elsewhere. From light, bright Nielluccio to rich, dark Mourvèdre, these wines offer great drinking at a great value.

27 Chateau Musar Through the years, Serge Hochar followed in the footsteps of his father, Gaston, who had been producing fantastic wines in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley since the 1920s. As winemakers that believe that a vintage should show itself, they change their blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault very little between years, allowing the end result to be an honest expression of the soil and the weather. Musar is always one of our favorites, and we invite you to try something undiscovered and unexpected.

28 Piemonte, Italy Home to the powerhouse grape Nebbiolo, northwestern Italy delivers powerful red wines bursting with flavors of tar, earth, orange peel, fennel and tart red cherry. Barbaresco and Barolo are ‘full bodied’ wines, but anyone expecting a rich, Cabernet-like experience will be in for a surprise. Nebbiolo famously exhibits ‘angles rather than curves,’ but we’ve found a hearty bite of lamb or beef rounds off those sharper edges for a truly decadent dining experience.

30 Central Italy With 300 years of constant governmental regulation, the history of Tuscany’s wine industry has been a rocky one. From straw-covered ‘fiasco’ bottles of Chianti flooding the market to headline- grabbing ‘Super Tuscans,’ the region has had no lack of conflict or drama. But no matter what regulations or scandals may come next, the grape Sangiovese will always reign supreme. Showcasing flavors of bright red cherry, tomato leaf and scrubby Italian herbs, wines made from ‘the blood of Jove’ will always pair perfectly with rich pasta or game. Tuscany:

32 Northern & Southern Italy Italians love to eat, drink, and have fun — and this enviable lifestyle translates into their wines too. On any Italian dinner table, a bottle of wine is just as critical as a knife and fork, and few other wines in the world are so perfectly built for food. If you’re in the mood for a rustic, flavorful bottle that pairs with good friends and a home-cooked meal — you’ve found it.

33 Iberian Peninsula Spain approaches wine law differently, focusing on the calendar instead of the dirt. While only perfectly ideal locations in France can grow ‘Grand Cru’ grapes, Spain produces ‘Gran Reserva’ only if the wine ages long enough in oak. Emphasizing aging showcases Tempranillo’s ability to age beautifully, and means you can pick up incredibly well-aged, complex, food-friendly wine for a song. Often reminiscent of sweet red cherry, leather, spice, and dried red flowers, Tempranillo also enjoys the Spanish affinity for American oak, which brings notes of coconut, dill and vanilla.

34 Unique Reds from the New World Without the regulations and history of old-world wine growing regions, the new world is the epicenter of ‘modern’ wine making. This relatively new frontier gives vignerons a blank canvas to work with, and creativity leads to planting new varietals and using new techniques. From juicy Grenache to brooding Syrah, we encourage you to explore all that the new world can offer.
