Maybe the rest of America hasn’t figured it out yet, but Colorado is making wines that not only compete with the rest of the U.S., they compare favorably to wines from around the world. But because Colorado is a different growing region than California, these wines are decidedly different from West Coast fare. Join Doug Frost MS, MW as he explains what is new and exciting from the Western Slope and elsewhere.

Ahh we’ve all been there, one too many glasses of liquid refreshment and the world can be an ugly place to be the following morning. But what many don’t know is that there are a long list of classics that were invented with the express purpose of softening the edges of those particularly difficult mornings. Fizzes and sours, sangritas and more are just a few of the tipples that were invented to make the most of the day that follows the night. Join Andy Seymour and a few special guests as they demo and serve some of these tasty treats. (Hangover optional)
