Carlson Vineyardsâ wine has received many medals, ribbons and recognitions over the years, and it recently added another award, but of a different variety.
The Palisade winery was selected Colorado Winery of the Year during the Colorado Manufacturing Awards ceremony on April 29.
The awards, which are hosted by CompanyWeek and Manufacturerâs Edge, were given in 14 categories ranging from aerospace to cannabis manufacturing and included an Outstanding Craft Distiller category that was won by Storm King Distilling Co. in Montrose.
In Carlson Vineyardsâ case, the judges for the awards took a âcross-operation look at their company and what theyâve done to re-invigorate a venerable and established brand. I think thatâs what carried the day,â said Bart Taylor, publisher for CompanyWeek, a digital publication focused on western U.S. manufacturing companies.
