Colorado Cellars Winery

This vineyard gives you a glass and lets you sample everything. Be selective. Just a warning so you don’t end up loving every wine you taste. Very friendly and a wide selection of wines.
Our group came here this time to try their Colorado Trinity Champagne. Once again we were disappointed as they only bottle (by hand) in the off-​season and were sold out. It would be nice to finally taste it as sparkling wine /​champagne is a favorite of mine. Colorado Champagne is a legal name they have been working on.
Others in my family love Roadkill Red for it’s semi-​sweet light red taste.
This is a fun place and they sell other food items as well. Great and friendly service.

We visited on our trip through Colorado Wine Country on Labor Day Weekend 2013. We were very much looking forward to this winery (oldest in CO) after all we had read about it. We were disappointed. Their fruit wines they will pour for you. All of their other (grape!) wines you must dispense yourself into your very mini tasting glass. No explanation. Nothing. Do they really care about their wines or not? We got the impression that they were living off their reputation.

Because I’m a classy bitch I likes my wine.
Because I’m a klassy bitch my favorite wine is called Roadkill.
Few people know that Colorado has an active wine region (it’s not all snow-​capped mountain), but tucked away on the Western Slope you’ll find some of the best wines available. The region itself is still fairly young, growing since 1978 and gaining designation as a viticultural area in 1991 but they’ve come a long way.
Colorado Cellars makes a wide array of fruit wines (hello pomegranate!), wine foods, desserts, oils, and of course the more typical wines.
All you need to know is this: Roadkill red.
This is a sweet red wine, not dessert-​y sweet, but sweet none-​the-​less. Since I am nowhere near the state of Colorado any more my bottles of wine are imported and therefore stashed to be savored during special occasions (mainly days that end in Y).
If that’s not your thing you can find a ton of other bevvies to suit your taste, there’s even white zinfandel :’(
Whether you’re classy or klassy there’s something for you here (and if you’re lucky at your local liquor store too!).
