Music, Wine, Chocolate and More Music!!!

That is of course what is happening here at the BookCliff Vineyards Tasting Room in Boulder. As December arrives we will have More Music as we add Acoustic Guitar sets on Sundays. Bill Kopper and others will provide their musical stylings to our already intimate setting surrounded by fine wines from BookCliff and Belgian Chocolates from Belvidere each Sunday afternoon in December.

Music still lives on here at BookCliff Vineyards Tasting Room on Friday nights as well! Each Friday night from 7:30 to 9:30 we feature live jazz to accompany your wine and chocolate. We even offer specially paired wine and chocolate flights to tantalize and expand your palate. As the days and nights get colder we will also warm you up with our hot spiced mulled wine, a delicious and ancient remedy on chilly days and icy nights.

Wether you like your jazz Latin, Brazillian, or U.S.A. style straight out of the "fake book", you'll find local musicians playing it all; along with your favorite locally produced Colorado, Grand Valley A.V.A. wines here at BookCliff Vineyards Tasting Room. From now to the end of the year we will be featuring the music of Molly Greacan and the SweetLife Brazillian Band, Bill Kopper, Joao Junqueira, Brielle, and Peneplain.

Join us in a Holiday Tradition

Every year we join the Boulder Chamber of Commerce in their effort to raise money to keep the Flagstaff Star lit on the mountain during the holiday season. The Chamber commissions a new piece of art from a local artist and this year's artist is Linda Sole Faul. The Chamber sells holiday cards with the image of the art and we release our Flagstaff Star wine that has a label with the image of the art; $1.00 of the sale of each bottle goes to the Flagstaff star fund. This is the 6th year that we have participated in the tradition. The wine is available in our tasting room and many Boulder area liquor stores, including:

Liquor Mart - 15th & Canyon
Pettyjohn's Liquor and Wine - 613 South Broadway
Boulder Wine Merchant - 2690 Broadway
Harvest Wine & Spirits - 3075 Arapahoe Ave.
Boulder Wine & Spirits - 3325 28th Street
Ace Wine & Spirits - 2315 30th Street
Superior Liquor - 100 Superior Plaza Way Superior, CO

We've Moved The Winery!

Don't worry, the tasting room is still downtown on 15th and Pearl St. but the winery is now at a different location. For the past 10 years or so the location where we crushed, fermented, pressed, bottled, etc. was in the basement of Ulla & John's house. For the past month or so, we have not only moved the whole winery but have also gone through harvest and crush. We are making more wine than we ever have in the past and believe me we've been busy. Most of the wines are still fermenting and we are almost done pressing. Pressing is the messiest job in the winery (and I love it). After the wine is almost done fermenting we remove all the skins and seeds, which have been in the bin with the juice/wine, we remove them and put them in a press to squeeze out any remaining wine. For white wines we press before fermentation starts. There is a great blog about the process written by Melinda, who works for us doing farmers markets and such. Click here to see that. Eventually we will be able to have people come and tour the winery, probably sometime next year. Until then stay tuned to our monthly newsletter to learn more, we'll probably have a open house type thing soon. In the meantime come down to our tasting room for some great Colorado wine!

1st Annual Harvest Dinner

Join us next month as we celebrate harvest season with our First Annual Harvest Dinner. This is a traditional German dinner pairing our brand new wines with some delicious German food, including Onion Quiche, German brats, mixed salad and dessert. This is a unique opportunity to have some great food and try the 2008 wines. These wines will be half fermented meaning there is alcohol but there is still some sweetness and carbonation in the wine, where else could you try something like this? Colorado wine and German food, this is gonna be a lot of fun!

Visanne is a crisp dry white blend of 70% Viognier, 29% Roussanne and 1% Orange Muscat. This extremely food friendly white has hints of grapefruit, white peaches, lemon and lime zest.
