    Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and terrific wine! Service was excellent too. Patio seating…read morewas relaxing.

    Our experience at Meat & Cheese in Aspen was disappointing from beginning to end…read more To start with, the food was mediocre in every sense. The quality did not justify the prices, the flavors were forgettable, and nothing we ordered stood out. Unfortunately, what happened afterward was far worse. My wife accidentally left behind a shopping bag containing a brand new pair of sunglasses she had purchased earlier that day. When she returned to retrieve them, our interaction with a server named Carson was deeply disappointing. Instead of simply confirming ownership in a courteous and professional manner, Carson repeatedly questioned whether the sunglasses were actually hers. He kept emphasizing that they were brand new and worth around $600, making it clear that he found it difficult to believe they belonged to her. It was impossible not to feel that she was being judged based solely on her appearance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with verifying ownership of a valuable item. In fact, we appreciate businesses that take lost property seriously. What is unacceptable is allowing assumptions and stereotypes to influence how customers are treated. One lesson worth remembering is that genuine elegance and long established wealth rarely need to announce themselves. Those who have had the privilege of success across generations often feel no need to advertise it with designer logos or outward displays. True class is reflected in education, humility, confidence, and, above all, in the way people treat others. Ironically, Carson's assumptions said far more about his own judgment than they did about my wife. No customer should ever be made to feel that they need to "look wealthy" in order to be treated with respect. We hope management addresses this issue seriously. The mediocre food was forgettable. Being judged and treated with prejudice is not. Every guest deserves to be treated with courtesy, professionalism, and dignity, regardless of how they are dressed or what assumptions someone chooses to make about them.

    This review is for the wine tasting class only:…read more I wasn't sure what to expect here, as I saw some less than favorable reviews for the place. Desert Moon Vineyards is set out by the Centennial Airport in a sort of industrial area where you wouldn't expect to find a winery. Despite the dreariness of the area, inside, the "shop" area is very rustic and sparsely decorated. We came for a wine tasting class with friends. When we arrived on a very cold Saturday, we were surprised to realize just how cold the building is. We entered in the front room and after signing in and presenting the merchant with a Groupon, we were seated in the back room, where the wine barrels are kept and which sort of looks a cave. Very, very cold in this spot. It would have been nice if you're told in advance. In the summer, the coolness would be appreciated, but at 3 degrees, when you can't take off your coat, it's a bit too cold to be there. There was a sommelier who discussed the steps of wine tasting and then we were served a small pour for tasting of the two whites and then later, the two reds. We were served a tray with 3 types of cheese and a bunch of grapes, should you need a snack. There was also a basket of bread to use as a palate cleanser. I enjoyed the cheese paired with wine, but it would have been nice to have the cheese already cut and served instead of the customers trying to slice cheese with plastic knives. IN the second part of the tasting, we were served milk and dark chocolate. It would have been very helpful to have the dark chocolate cut up in advance, as a plastic knife did not help in attempting to cut the chocolate at all. However, despite these minor annoyances, I felt the class was very helpful and that I learned a lot. The sommelier made the class a very enjoyable event. At the end of the wine tasting, we walked back into the front room to try the last two wines, the "Shiver" (an ice wine) and their Port. We did buy a bottle of the Off-Dry Riesling and I will look for their wines in the future.

    I bought the Living Social deal with some friends. It was a little hard to get into a tasting…read more(class), but finally arranged a time. The place really doesn't have much atmosphere (cool in the barrel room). Cool as in looking, but freezing temperature for a place to do a class. The class was interesting, but, a couple of items: 1. For a paid class...more wine in each glass needed. 2. Please cut up the cheese and serve it. 3. Shorten the class and cut the "film." 4. The wine was okay and we did buy some to take home.
