Very interesting blog post today by KyleSchlacter:
COWinePress:CO-CA Wine Connections
in which he details the many Colorado folks who have made significant contributions to the Calif wine industry.
The first was WarrenWiniarski, who was the winemaker for a yr or two, at IvancieCllrs in Denver. Using grapes imported from Calif. I never got to meet Dr.Ivancie, but have visited w/ Warren a number of times over the yrs (he was a foil fencer at StJohn's/Annapolis...so we often talk a bit of fencing). The wines were not very good and Warren will just sorta roll his eyes and acknowledge as much. Dr.Ivancie's daughter is a good friend of mine & lives here in SantaFe.
Kyle's blog on CO wines is quite interesting and one that I read on a regular basis.
Anyway...quite a well-written article and a very good read; especially for anyone who has followed Colrado wines "from the very start".
