Palisade, Colorado Welcomes Spring with Blooms

March 19, 2009 – 2:57 am

I received an email yesterday about Palisade, Colorado spring blooms. It brought back wonderful memories of visiting the area in 2008. Grand Junction and Palisade, Colorado have dramatic views of the Bookcliff Mountain Range, the Grand Mesa and Colorado National Monument. Palisade has a reputation of being a “fruit basket.” The area has not only vineyards […]

Since we were a little low on white wines, we opted to trying a Cabernet Franc 2005 from Creekside Cellars in Evergreen, Colorado. The wine seemed to bring out […]

Garfield Estates Vineyard and Winery – Syrah

Last night we had a lovely dinner with family in Virginia. The dinner offered a picture perfect potato salad and a green salad served in crystal serving dishes.

Colorado Winds

June 11, 2008 – 2:33 pm

While we were visiting wineries in the Grand Junction area of the state, we noticed intense winds in the morning. Later in the day the wind would reverse direction. These strong winds are the result of the quickly changing area temperature. Yesterday while visiting […]
