Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What is the best wine to pair with Colorado beef?
For Colorado beef, you can’t go wrong with a bold Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa or a structured Malbec from Argentina — both have the tannin structure and fruit concentration to stand up to rich, well-marbled beef. For something different, a Northern Rhône Syrah or a serious Spanish Tempranillo also pair beautifully. Our staff can suggest specific bottles at any price point.
What is orange wine and do you carry it?
Orange wine is white wine made using extended skin contact, giving it a deeper amber or orange color and more tannin and complexity than typical white wine. It’s one of the most food-friendly wine styles and pairs beautifully with a wide range of cuisines. Yes, we carry orange wine selections — ask our staff for current recommendations.
Do you offer wine by the case with a discount?
We offer case pricing on many of our wines. Purchasing by the case is an excellent way to stock up on a wine you love and often results in meaningful savings. Ask our staff about current case pricing and mixed case options for the wines you’re interested in.
How do I know if a wine will age well?
Wine aging potential depends on several factors: tannin level (reds), acidity, residual sugar (sweet wines), and the producer’s track record. Generally, structured reds like Barolo, Bordeaux, and Napa Cab age well; most whites are better young with exceptions like white Burgundy and Riesling. Our staff can advise on specific bottles’ aging potential and help you build a cellar that will reward patience.
