@cave_coloradowine is deeply grateful to the @americanwinesociety for the invitation to send our Executive Director, @misscassidee, and CAVE Board Member, @jenne_baldwin_eaton, to present on Colorado wine at their wonderful conference held in beautiful Virginia. It was an incredible honor to share our passion for the Colorado wine industry and to allow conference attendees to sample some of the exceptional wines being crafted here in Colorado.
The reception we received was extraordinary, a testament to the tenacity and expertise our Colorado growers bring every day. The quality of wines being produced in this state is truly remarkable and it’s inspiring to reflect on how far our industry has come.
We’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the individual wineries that generously donated wines and were represented at the event. Your contributions made the tasting and presentation possible and demonstrated the spirit of collaboration and excellence in Colorado wine. Thank you, @carboywinery, @colterriswines, @peachforkfruitandwine, @stormcellarwine, @ordinaryfellowwines, @sauvagespectrumwines!
