We consider our winery to be a micro winery. This means at this time we produce less than 1,000 cases of wine annually. You will not find our wines in liquor stores. All the wine we produce is sold exclusively in Estes Park. Our winemaker takes pride in producing white wines that are clean, crisp and fruit forward. Our red wines are bold, challenging and somewhat more acidicand refreshing. . Our style of winemaking emphasizes varietal fruit and the sweetness of alcohol. That said we are not afraid to make fruit wines and blended wines, because after all winemaking is all about making wines that you the customer like. – Description from Nerevar

There are lots of wine brands out there, but only some can be called iconic. These brands shape winemaking in a forward-positive direction. They lead the charge on new initiatives and dare to be different. They are established purveyors of consistent quality. Just a few weeks ago I had the opportunity dig deeper into an icon of this type. Villa ... Read More

Ok, new year and time for a new topic of discussion. Just yesterday I opened this Pinot Noir from California that initially sounded promising. First - it was given to Sandra as a retirement gift so it was free. Second - a Pinot Noir bottled in St. Helena CA, so it has to be decent, right? and Third - a nice looking label. Well, this 2014 Me... Read More

Female winemakers in Piedmont have changed the conservative winemaking landscape to one that is inclusive of women. France is no different. This piece examines five scintillating wines from a group called the Fem... Read More

"When the moon hits your eye/like a big pizza pie/that's amore."As we ate our breakfast on Sunday morning at the Imperial Hotel in Amador City, the soundtrack subtly changed.

A quiet evening out here in Northern Virginia. It's cold again (25 F plus a wind chill making it feel like 14 F) following a slight and brief warm up yesterday. We still have lots of snow on the ground but since I finished shoveling yesterday, I was able to devote some quality time to cleaning tile in our master bathroom. I did that for two h... Read More
