We loved the space, sat the bar and chatted with the woman working (I'm sorry I don't recall her name but she was great!) while we perused the menu. We started off with tasting size pours just to start and ordered the premium cheese board to start. I was pretty hungry but we were assured that the small is perfect for two and she was absolutely correct. The board was presented beautifully with a wonderful combination of cheeses, nuts, fruits, and meats. It went so well with their wines. All of the wines we tried were excellent, my favorite was the 5 barrel Cab Sauv. Loved the space, the food, their wines, and the service..definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

That said, the wines are very nice, European in type and a wide enough variety for a new location. They have been in business since 2007. Wines ranged in price from $24-$36 a bottle and they had a few different years available. For a $10 tasting, we enjoyed our time there. I do take off a 1/2 * for that price. Come by as one of three wineries and try them out.

Tasting room is small but cozy. Plenty of parking in the private lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I wanted to try Colorado wines and BookCliff was one of the recommendations. A wine tasting consisted of five tastings that you could pick and choose from their library. We got two whites and three reds. My favorite was probably the syrah and malbec, both had nice fruit aromas. The whites were alright, they were very short and lacked the body and crispness I typically enjoy with whites. THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting here was around $18 including tip. I do like how it's all Colorado fruit and definitely a must try if you're in the Boulder area.

This new shop on the Pearl St Mall is a second location for a tasting room for Vapor Distillery. It…read moreis friendly and well stocked with their various products. It opened very recently and not just for the holiday season but to be available 7 days a week to walk up customers on the Mall. The distillery is to the east of downtown and needs a car to access. Not ideal for tourist and locals who frequent downtown, mostly on foot, whether you park in the area garages or use a bus to get here. We had wanted to try their product since I first heard of them several year ago and as my husband is a fan of imported single malts, we thought trying theirs would be a good comparison. He has a significant collection of rotating favorites, some of which I like and some I don't. We tasted several versions today, just doing free sips of several. There were other customers there too, but on a chilly day, not too many strolling around looking for things to do. We were greeted as soon as we came in as the single staff member balanced a series of customers. We were offered, but did not try, the various flights they serve in their little more private, seating area. But it looked like a nice option on a warmer more leisurely day. We tried their flagship American single malt, the port cask cured and the peated option. I also tried their bourbon as I like bourbon quite a bit. We did buy a bottle of their New American Single Malt. We plan to go back in better weather and try some of their other offerings. If you look at Vapor Distillery's website you can get a better view of the breadth of their products. The pricing was competitive for an American version of the imports we often buy.

One way street and plenty of parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here on a Sunday afternoon and were the only patrons in the room. We struck up a conversation pretty easily with the owner and he gave us the down low on his story and wines. Vinnie Fera sources from the grand valley and Monterey California. They received most of their awards from their Monterey grapes. For the tasting flight, we got to taste the colorado experience (colorado wines) and the bottles he already opened, he let us try those as well! THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting here for 5 tastings will set you back about $15. I'd recommend coming here to get a taste of carefully crafted Colorado wines and if you don't like them, you can taste their Monterey, California wines!

Because the single employee splits time between packing orders in the back and running the front, you might just need to ring the bell on the desk for assistance. The meads here are exceptionally smooth and well priced compared to others I have tried, which usually feel overpriced. I actually debated buying bottles and paying for a checked bag on my flight, but I ended up choosing their shipping option since the cost difference was pretty minimal.

I tried way too many before they called us over for the 9 minute intro video, which covers the company history, how their teas get made, and the safety rules for walking through an active production plant. The mint room is the highlight. FDA rules mean you cannot step inside anymore, but you stand at the entrance and the smell hits you instantly. Back away whenever you want. Full sensory experience without the headache. Staff were warm and genuinely into their jobs. They shared fun facts, answered every question, and made it feel personal instead of rehearsed. The gift shop is also a steal, with boxes around $3.75 and seasonal flavors stocked year-round. Go on a weekday if you want smaller groups.

One of the latest addition my friends and I had noticed and recently tried, is a wine tasting and sales room, tucked in the cottage behind East Simpson Coffee. The location is perfect; welcoming and comfortable, with indoor seating, a porch, and a large patio area including a fire pit. I went with a group of 12, and the owner was very accommodating, which is not always easy with a party that size. They offer wine flights and wine by the glass, as well as a limited food selection like charcuterie boards and bruschettas. We all found the prices reasonable and the pours generous. I had a mozzarella and tomato bruschetta with my rosé flight, and both were delicious. We all had wonderful time, and we've already decided we'd go back!
