Not to mention that the winery itself is beautiful. Another favorite of mine is Chimney Rock, Cakebread and Merryvale. We had a great bottle of 1999 Coppola Cabernet Directors Reserve with our bison steaks last week in Steamboat.

If you are ambitious and like to try "different" wines....try Malbec from Argentina. Almost bordeaux tasting..very delicious with the seasoned, grilled meat Argentina is known for.

By the way, joining your local wine shops wine of the month club is a great way to experience wines you might not normally buy. My merchant goes out of his way to find stuff in small quantities for a reasonable price to include in the monthly offerings.
