Independently owned by one family in Newport, Kentucky, New Riff Distilling has used that independence, and freedom from outside pressures and interests to make an unforeseen declaration for quality: for perhaps the first time since the inception of the Bottled in Bond Act in 1897, a Kentucky sour mash whiskey distillery has committed themselves exclusively to that quality standard, the world’s highest. They proudly lift the bar even higher by bottling without chill filtration. They stand behind the combination of classic American entrepreneurship and ingenuity; passion and knowledge born from one of the world’s great spirit regions; and a talented team individually committed to doing things the right way.

Friday November 4th · 3-6 PM

House of the Dragon

Saturday October 29th · 3-6 PM

Join us this Saturday to taste the official wines inspired from the HBO drama series “House of the Dragon”. Whether your hosting a viewing party or binge watching the entire season, their Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Red Blend will complete your experience.

If there was a wine King, their Cabernet Sauvignon would take the crown. Dense, rich and jammy with scents of cherry tobacco and vanilla crème and a long, mouth coating finish with hints of sweetness.

Their Pinot Noir is sometimes called the Heartbreak Grape. It is enticing on the nose with lovely aromatics, including tart red cherry and cranberry, followed by subtle earthy and savory notes. The palate is medium bodied with silky textures and delicious bright red fruit that shows just a bit darker in profile than the nose. This gem is garnet in color and lingers with a long, fruit filled finish.

 Rounding out the collection, is their Red Blend. A blend of the classics—52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot and 8% Malbec—punctuated by 20% Zinfandel. Velvety and dark in color with aromas of cocoa, cranberry and black currant. Rich maple, dark red fruit, toffee and creamy caramel coat the palate and add to the balanced and juicy mouthfeel. Finishes with layers of dark berries and coffee.

Castoro Cellars

Friday October 28th · 3-6 PM

Since the weather turned cold and snowy this week, join us this Friday to warm your insides with samples of Castoro Cellars’ Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Zinfandel organic wines.

Found­ed by Niels and Bim­mer Udsen in 1983, Cas­toro Cel­lars is one of the old­est winer­ies in the Paso Rob­les area. Over the past 35 years, Cas­toro has been a pio­neer for organ­ic and sus­tain­able farm­ing on the Cen­tral Coast.

Cas­toro Cel­lars grapes are exclu­sive­ly from their Estate Grown, organ­ic and sus­tain­ably farmed vine­yards. All of their fruit comes from with­in the Paso Rob­les AVA where grape vari­ety is care­ful­ly matched with vine­yard loca­tion and farm­ing tech­nique in order to pro­duce the desired char­ac­ter­is­tics of each varietal. They strongly believe you can taste the difference in their wines from mass produced vineyards.

Woody Creek Distillers

Saturday October 22nd · 3-6 PM

With the weather turning colder, warm your spirits with samples from Woody Creek Distillers. This Saturday we will taste their Summer Gin, Bourbon, Cask Bourbon, Rye, and High Rye Bourbon.

Located 15 miles west of Aspen in Basalt, Colorado, Woody Creek Distillers pours everything they are into everything they make. They set out to make nothing but the finest craft spirits, each with a unique taste and character that was true to the origins of that spirit. It’s a standard they hold ourselves to every day. They never use neutral grain spirits or blend with base spirits from other distillers. They grow and harvest many of their own ingredients, like the Rio Grande potatoes for their premium vodka. They only source their grains from trusted Colorado farms, like the rye in their 100% rye mash whiskey. For the finishing touch, they distill every spirit they make in their own custom CARL stills – a shining copper example of engineering and art that turns the Earth’s freshest ingredients into the world’s most treasured spirits.

Level Beer

Friday October 21st · 3-6 PM

This Friday, bring back your nostalgic side from the 80’s by tasting beers from Level. The owners passion for all things 80’s such as Star Wars, Atari, and Vans led them to develop Level beers with names such as “A Winner is You”, “Bad Hombre”, “Let’s Play”, and “Game On”!

Founded in Portland, Level Beer, is all about balance. Balanced life, balanced partnership, balanced beer. Their branding concept has been equally inspired, merging popular themes not often seen in craft beer into both the labeling and naming of their beers. Level is focused on pale ales and farmhouses, while also producing sours and IPAs, among other styles. But it keeps its beers lower in alcohol, especially during non-winter months.

Here to brighten days and light nights, Mad Lemon is focused on the best cocktail for the best you.

Mad Lemon is the sweet nostalgia of our family’s lemonade recipe, hit with a bold balance of premium liquor, and an eclectic blend of unexpected herbs, fruit, and spices.

Nestled between the gateways of the Colorado National Monument is a family operated winery.

Located in the Redlands area of Grand Junction, they offer wines of the noble varieties. The varieties of wines are few in number, but they are superb. They currently produce 14,000 cases of wine a year. Their winemaker is very focused on producing only the best wines. By just producing six varieties they are able to give more attention to details, thus achieving consistency and predictability with each release.

Holidaily Brewing Company is the passion project of Karen Hertz, a craft beer enthusiast and lover of living life to the fullest. Karen survived melanoma and thyroid cancer in her early 30’s, leading to a treatment plan including a gluten-free diet. Along with beating cancer came the desire to focus on health, happiness and a commitment to celebrate life every single day.

As a beer lover, going gluten-free meant only drinking gluten-free beer or not partaking in social activities in the same way her friends and family could. The lack of good tasting, gluten-free options was a challenge for Karen – one that she was driven to overcome. Years of taste-testing, research on gluten-free ingredients and an understanding of processes other brewing companies utilized led her to believe there was a better way.

And so, the idea of Holidaily Brewing Company was born: a company dedicated to creating excellent tasting gluten-free beer.

Brewmaster, Rick Abitbol, has been professionally brewing award-winning beers along the Front Range for over a decade. Rick is respectful of beer styles and traditional brewing technique, however, he has long been an innovator of style and not afraid to color outside the lines. He was one of the first brewers to explore the Black IPA, which has become a mainstay in breweries and competitions alike.

They love their hops over at Rickoli! That’s not to say you won’t find any wonderfully malty creations from these guys because there are many, but what you will notice is the wide variety of hoppy selections. And always be on the lookout for their newest creations.

In addition to brewing some mighty tasty beers, Rickoli also removes the gluten from all of their brews. They believe in making great craft beer more accessible to everyone, so they use an enzyme to reduce the gluten in every beer to under 10 parts per million.

At Oliver, they are not afraid to have their heads in the clouds. You could even say dreaming big is what Oliver Winery does best. What started as a hobby back in the 1960s, has grown Oliver Winery into not only one of the largest wineries in the U.S., but also a world-class destination, ranked among Travel + Leisure's top 25 wineries to visit in the U.S. in 2017.

As they grow, the philosophy remains the same. These guys strongly believe that all styles of wine deserve the highest craft and respect. In that light, Oliver Winery makes all of their top-rated wines in the gentlest way possible, and each one of them share one common characteristic: fruit-forward taste.

The Diebolt Family has a rich history of fermentation from their distant cousins making Champagne in France, Dan’s Father pressing grapes in his garage, Dan’s early homebrewing days in Oklahoma, and finally Jack taking up the homebrewing torch here in Colorado over a decade ago.

All this brewing history culminated during the summer of 2013 with the opening of Diebolt Brewing Company in the up-and-coming North Denver neighborhood of Sunnyside. While initially focused on exploring their French ancestry and heritage through beer styles such their French Saison, they have continued to adjust as the desire and popularity for new and unique styles shift throughout the years, now brewing a wide variety of IPAs, Dark and Light Lagers, Fruited Sours, Barrel Aged Stouts, historical beers, and a never-ending supply of experimental offerings.

Diebolt’s passion is palpable, their creativity inspiring, and their dedication and hard work is evident in everything they do and every beer they brew.

Distillery 291 is an award winning, small batch whiskey distillery nestled in the stunning foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the distillery sits in the shadow of Pikes Peak where owner and founding distiller, Michael Myers, a former New York City fashion and beauty photographer, with a love of whiskey and passion for the old west, aims to replicate the taste, smell and folklore of that time, to create a one of a kind, bold and beautiful, Colorado Whiskey. Rugged, Refined, Rebellious.

Myers built his original still from copper photogravure plates that he had once used to create enduring photographic scenes, from western landscapes to the Chrysler Building. On September 11, 2011 — ten years after 9/11 changed his life and the lives of so many others — Myers pulled his first whiskey off of that still, building his future in whiskey, off his passion for photography.

291 Colorado Whiskey is “Hardmade the Colorado Way”. Today (and since day one), Distillery 291 is distilling, from grain, to barrel, to bottle, by hand, from scratch, ten distinctive Colorado whiskeys. Utilizing grains from the Colorado plains and water collected from Pikes Peak reservoirs, Myers turned his artist’s eye towards whiskey and hasn’t looked back. Everything matters.

291 Colorado Whiskey has earned bushels of national and international awards for its spirits with the unique character and flavor of a bygone era. Named World’s Best Rye-2018 by World Whiskies Awards, 7 Liquid Golds from Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, multiple Double-Gold in San Francisco World Spirits Competition, nods from IWSC and Spirits Business Journal and many other notable awards, 291 Colorado Whiskey embodies traditions of the past married with the boldness of the future.

That said, what will always define Distillery 291 is its spirit, passion permeates every sip.

Pikes Peak established their Monument, Colorado brewery in 2011 as a place for the community to connect and come together. Their philosophy is that the best beers are ones shared with friends, so wherever you find a Pikes Peak Beer, it finds you in good company. In Aug, 2020 they expanded, opening their Lager House in Downtown Colorado Springs, producing the best lagers in Southern Colorado.

Rather than chasing notoriety, Pikes Peak Brewing Company seeks to brew for their neighbors, so their beers are personal expressions that stay faithful to classic styles. Colorado is home to some of the country’s finest ingredients, from abundant grains and fresh hops, to pristine waters. These beers are inspired by the landscape to make beer as solid and iconic as the mountain for which they’re named.

Since receiving such an overwhelming response, Pikes Peak makes it a priority to give back to the community leveraging their seasonal beers to support organizations that make Colorado such a great place to live.

It all started with a humble homebrew kit and the drive to make better beer. Tired of the same bland and dated choices everywhere, Air Force friends Eric Wallace and Dick Doore set out to make the kind of beer that excited them; beer they wanted to drink. A hobby quickly became an obsession and it wasn't long before Left Hand Brewing was born in Longmont, Colorado. Over 26 years later, they're still forging their own path, building community around better beer.

When everyone was adding concentrates to wheat beer, Left Hand decided to hand-juice ginger for Good Juju. When told that American nitro beer couldn't be bottled, they invented it. When they saw a need for better disaster relief at home, they started the Left Hand Brewing Foundation.

At Left Hand, they overcome and they raise the bar. They adapt and get even better. Through it all, they've always been proud of what they stamp that iconic left hand of approval on. They're not guided by what anybody else is doing. They lead by being damn good people who deliver damn good beer from their left hand to yours.

Deep Eddy Vodka is inspired by the oldest swimming hole in Austin, Texas — a place where people come together to enjoy good times that never seem to end. Where strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet.

Deep Eddy Vodka embodies that same spirit. They eat, sleep and yes, drink, for one purpose: To bring people together for good times. Whether it’s your backyard, the patio of your favorite bar, the biggest outdoor music festivals, or the most intimate concerts from up-and-coming musicians, Deep Eddy is there.

From Peach to Sweet Tea to Ruby Red Grapefruit, Deep Eddy is well known for their delicious flavored vodkas.

At Dulce Vida, they like to do things differently. They make tequila the way that tequila has always tasted best: pure and authentic. They don’t contract with a distillery for the purchase of liquid and are completely vertically integrated, ranging from working with the community of agave farmers, distillation management, and barrel aging.

Dulce Vida Tequila comes from the original makers of Deep Eddy Vodka so it’s not surprise that they have been particularly innovative when it comes to flavors. If you’ve never tried a flavored tequila, Dulce Vida Lime Tequila is the perfect head start toward a delicious margarita.

Sangria has its origins in the Iberian Peninsula, dating all the way back to the Middle Ages. It was originally aged wine mixed with fruit and spices, such as cinnamon, then evolved through time into regional variations. No matter where or how it’s made, all sangria is essentially a refreshing, fruity wine punch!

Mija is a fresh and natural bottled sangria that is crafted without any artificial additives or preservatives and packed with antioxidants from the juice of popular super fruits including pomegranate, açaí and blood orange. Not to mention, this flavor-filled beverage is gluten free and comes in a reusable flip-top bottle, making it the perfect on-the-go beverage.

The Family Jones is a Colorado-based distillery proudly leading the charge in local spirits production by sourcing grains from only three origins — the Whiskey Sisters, Colorado Stock and Grain and Root Shoot Malting. The distillery is serious about developing relationships with local farmers and working closely with them to construct a product everyone involved can be proud of. As Colorado continues to cultivate its craft distilling scene, the Family Jones is making an impressive effort in distinguishing itself for both outstanding product and a deep commitment to local assembly and heritage grains. With roughly half the state’s acreage being used for agriculture, the business’ focus on local manufacturing nicely orients it within the community. And the cherry on top of this commendable operation is their spirits themselves; the craftsmanship is evident in every sip.

Bill Foss bought a large agave farm in the year 2002. Initially, the plan was to simply farm agave. The first crop was mature and ready to harvest in 2008, but there was virtually no market for the crop due to the recession in the US, which had a tremendous effect on the country of Mexico. Rather than allowing the plants to die Bill decided to make tequila.... This is where Suavecito's story begins.

After years of research, and working with industry experts, the Suavecito formula created an exceptionally smooth spirit that will change the way you think about and drink tequila, with it's bold and unique take on the tequila tradition.

2 Towns Ciderhouse takes craft cider seriously. But what good is cider if you can’t have some fun too? Their balance of passion for craft cider, with plenty of good times is what makes their lineup so special. It all started in 2010 in the Pacific Northwest when two long-time friends met for pints and walked away with a vision for a new kind of cidery. Today, 2 Towns Ciderhouse is the largest craft cider producer in Oregon with more than 50 employees making more than 10,000 barrels of cider annually.

With Memorial Day less than a week out, and our last snow (hopefully) behind us, warmer months are on their way, and with them come relaxation, various festivities, and lots of sunshine. It’s time to delve into the light, refreshing wines of summer. This tasting will feature some classic favorites as well as some more obscure whites that you may not be familiar with. Either way, we hope you’ll walk away from this event with a new go-to summer sipper!

Eric and Austin have been friends since attending the same middle school in their home state of Arizona. Eric was first to escape the heat of the desert and seek out more diverse weather. Austin visited Eric in Denver frequently, and one particular visit to celebrate a friend’s wedding resulted in a brewery tour, which ended at Golden Moon Speak, planting the seed that would one day grow into Ballmer Peak Distillery.

After a spirited conversation in 2014, surrounded by the crisp mountain air of Denver, Colorado, Austin and Eric had their first whiskey fueled conversation which led to the founding of Ballmer Peak Distillery which opened five years later in November of 2019. A sustainability driven, pandemic-survived, nano-distillery with a cozy tasting room nestled against Green Mountain in Lakewood, Colorado, Ballmer Peak Distillery offers a unique lineup of small batch spirits and cocktails with globally inspired flavors, and seasonal micro-batch experiments.
