2 What do you love to drink?
In the following pages is a selection of wines from around the world, listed from north to south, that we hope you find engaging and intriguing.
We’ve tried to represent both those styles of wine which seem to be in most demand (Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, Châteauneuf-du-Pape), and those that are our own particular favorites (Young and old Bordeaux, Spanish Reds, Alsatian Whites, and German Riesling).
The persistent focus is on wines which best complement our ethic and cuisine, with elegant structures, captivating aromas and flavors rich with earth and spice. We have truly committed to variety and accessibility, and we urge you to take advantage of the depth we offer in our selections.
So take the plunge. Be adventurous.
Try your bass with a Gamay from Beaujolais, enjoy your beef with Cabernet Franc from Chinon, have your risotto with Aglianico from Campania and absolutely order anything with Grower Champagne.
But most importantly, drink what you love.
“Burgundy makes you think of silly things; Bordeaux makes you talk of them and Champagne makes you do them.” - Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
3 Colorado Home Sweet Home; with over 100 wineries in Colorado, and two American Viticultural Areas (AVA), Grand Valley AVA located in Palisade, and West Elks AVA in Paonia, Colorad0 is on the fast track to becoming one of the great and timeless wine regions of the United States. Varietals such as Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Viognier really thrive, but don’t be afraid to venture out and try some Cinsault, Riesling or even Sangiovese.

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.

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

10 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 vigerons 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.

11 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 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)

14 Germany
Situated in the heart of central Europe, Germany and its wines have long endured a clash between reputation and reality — the public perception of its wines being cloyingly sweet and characterless versus the country’s focus on site-specific bottling, showcasing the steep slopes of the Mosel or the banks of the Rhein. With 22% of the country’s plantings devoted to Riesling, much of the disconnect between producers and American consumers has left German Rieslings as relative unknowns to the everyday wine drinker. Driven by its roots in the mosaic soil deposits of Germany’s many rivers, Riesling coming from the Mosel, Nahe, Rheingau, and more display an impressive concentration of terroir, as well as a variety of sugar levels that often stun even those who swear they would never enjoy a sweet wine.

“A German wine label is one of the things life’s too short for.”

17 Austria Too often overlooked as a serious wine-producing country, Austria is finally gaining traction here in the U.S. as a leader in the production of unapologetically aggressive, mineral-focused, zesty wines — namely made from the iconic Grüner Veltliner. Often remembered for its white pepper, vegetal, and crushed stone aromas, those who find love in Veltliner and Austria eventually find comfort in their dry, age-worthy Riesling, Grauburgunder, and even Pinot Noir and Blaufränkisch as well. There may not be anywhere in the world producing as many accessible and terroir-driven wines than Austria today, which might explain why many sommeliers have become such strong advocates for its wines.

19 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.
20 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.

24 Red Burgundy Andre Tchelistcheff famously said, ‘God made Cabernet, whereas the Devil made Pinot Noir,’ and truer words were never spoken. There’s no wine region in the world more maddening, beautiful, expensive, fickle or jaw-droppingly delicious than the Cote 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.

27 Beaujolais Beaujolais offers some of the best values in Burgundy today: incredible quality at a fraction of the price of more famous Pinot Noir. With bright red to deep, dark fruits, balancing stony minerality through its core and peppery spice around the edges, Beaujolais is delicious with seafood, lighter meats and certainly on its own.

30 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.

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 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.

35 Piedmont, Italy Home to the tannic grape Nebbiolo, northwestern Italy delivers powerful red wines absolutely 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.

37 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 remain 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.

If you’re in the mood for a rustic, flavorful bottle that pairs with good friends and a home-cooked meal — you are on the right page.

42 Iberian Peninsula In terms of wine law, Spain has taken a different route, focusing on the calendar instead of the dirt. While only tiny, perfectly ideal locations in France can grow ‘Grand Cru’ grapes, the Spanish produce top-of-the-heap ‘Gran Reserva’ only if they let their wine age long enough in oak. With an emphasis on time in barrel, coupled with the grape Tempranillo’s ability to age beautifully, you can pick up incredibly well-aged, complex, food-friendly Spanish wine for a song. Even though some Spanish winemakers have been experimenting with international varietals, Tempranillo still reigns supreme, showcasing flavors of sweet red cherry, leather, spice, and dried red flowers. Given Spaniards’ affinity for American oak, you’ll almost always find tones of coconut, dill, and vanilla woven into the bouquet as well.

44 Unique Reds from the New World Lacking the regulations and history of old-world wine growing regions, the new world is really the epicenter of ‘modern’ wine making. Compared to Europe’s millennial of viticultural history, the new world is a relatively new frontier, presenting vignerons a blank canvas to work with. Creativity abounds with new varietals always being planted, and even more to learn. From bright and refreshing Cinsault to deep and brooding Syrah, we encourage you to explore something new from ‘down under’ to the Pacific-Northwest.

47 New World Pinot Noir A little more hedonistic in style, New World Pinot almost always shows soft flavors of sweet red cherry, raspberry and strawberry jam with smooth tannins and rich floral notes. Our heart will always belong to Burgundy, but these plush, drinkable examples of Pinot from California and Oregon can sure make us forget about France for a night.
