Bookcliff Vineyards Dry Muscat Blanc 2015 Ready for Purchase

The dry Muscat Blanc is back thanks to a plentiful crop in 2015.
This is a dry wine similar to a Sauvignon Blanc, but with tropical, floral notes up front. It shows flavors of lemon and lime and a crisp finish. Pairs well with mussels.

Danica at the Broncos Fundraiser

There was Colorado wine at the Broncos fundraiser this year. Exclusively!!! And we were there to tell about it.

This was a great event for Bronco fans that love good food (best restaurants in Denver served up their fare) and wine.

Another Gold Medal for Bookcliff Vineyards

We are pleased to have received a gold medal at the Los Angeles International Wine Competition 2016. The 2013 Petit Verdot received 90 points and a gold medal.

BookCliff Viognier 2014 fares well in blind tasting

Paula Mitchell from Exploring Colorado Wineries gave us some nice compliments for our 2014 Viognier. She tasted five Viogniers blind. Among them was a wine from Chile, California, Australia and France and Colorado (Bookcliff Vineyards). In the quest for something else than Chardonnay many regions planted Viognier and gave it a try. Two areas we recently visited, the Okanagan region in British Columbia and Amador county in California produce Viognier. And as Paula pointed out many Colorado wineries produce great Viognier.
