As if we needed any more validation that Aspen and Snowmass are great wine destinations, a couple of recent events, one in Snowmass and one in London, provided added proof.
Though comparatively small, Aspen is one of the great wine towns in all of America. In an area encompassing approximately six blocks you’ll find any number of outstanding wine lists and more importantly a collection of passionate world class sommeliers who have built a legacy in this town. They cater to a sophisticated community of collectors and wine aficionados who share their passion for great juice.

If there is a positive to be found in the isolation imposed on the wine world in 2020, it was the evolution of virtual tastings.
As winery tasting rooms were forced to shutter due the pandemic, many launched creative Zoom-based events to showcase their wares. Next, online sales sites and shops got into the game. Today it is not only possible, but easy to get some of the world’s great wines sent to your home and share them, online, with makers and experts.
In one sense, being apart has allowed us to become closer in the world of wine.
