Here Are Colorado’s 5 Best Summer Wine Festivals

Summertime is Wine Festival time in Colorado!

My appreciation for wine has grown since moving to western Colorado. It's a natural side effect of living in one of the finest wine producing places on earth. With warmer weather approaching it's time to break out the shorts, sunglasses, and wine glasses and game-plan to hit Colorado's Top 5 Wine Festivals!  There are more, but if you manage to make it to these, you'll have accomplished quite the wino-fan-feat!
