It must be spring. For some of us, this glorious season of “warm weather at last” blows in with a really fantastically fun, strolling and tasting vino event. From May 6-8, you can taste, study, taste, chat, breathe and taste wines from around the globe. Did I mention taste? While my palette may not be up to snuff, this event keeps us in our comfort zone with its relaxed Durango style tude. It’s for everyone and anyone that likes to drink wine, and you might even learn a thing or two along the way.

DURANGO WINE EXPERIENCE, 2009

It’s that time of year again. Durango Wine Experience is upon us beginning April 30th, signaling the start of spring here in Durango. Some of us look to the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, others… new wines to try. This years poster design bows down to the rich saturated colors of velvet brocade and a traditional letterpress printing. We sought to highlight elements from our old western town of Durango, embrace them and spin them in a new way.

Speaking from experience, I highly recommend the event. Whether you attend a seminar beefing up your cocktail talking points or roam, walk or stumble around downtown for the Friday night moving tasting, there is sure to be a little something for wine enthusiasts of all varietals.

HOME GROWN FESTIVAL – Insider Ale

kris — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 07:34:28 +0000

The Home Grown Festival in Durango Colorado was a hit last October. One of the highlights of the event was the pressing of local apples collected by students from Fort Lewis College that have been turned into beer brewed by the Bootleggers Society which is made up from the 4 local breweries (Ska Brewing, Durango Brewing , Steamworks Brewing and of course Carver Brewing Co.) in our fabulous town.

The beer is now available on tap at all the breweries for a very limited time and will also be available at the local liquors stores starting on Tuesday February 3rd. All proceeds from sales at the liquor stores will help fund next years Home Grown Festival.
