Twenty-two Colorado wineries poured two of their wines for conference attendees. Everyone voted for the best red and best white wines. Best red award went to Ruby Trust Cellars for their The Smuggler. The best white wine went to Guy Drew Vineyards for their Pinot Gris. The people\u2019s choice award went to Redstone Meadery for their Nectar of the Hops. While the media\u2019s favorite wine was the Guy Drew Vineyards Pinot Gris.<\/p>\n<p>To continue with a theme I began at the Wine Bloggers Conference in 2011, my wine tweets consist of Haikus.
