Colorado Wine Country Annual Colorado Mountain Winefest by Dave Shultz  When
you think about the United States wine industry, you probably think of
California first. But, Colorado has a thriving wine economy and
shouldn't be overlooked if you like wine festivals and tastings.
The 10th Annual Colorado Mountain Winefest will be held Friday, September 14th this year in both Grand Junction and Palisade. The Festival in the Park grand tasting and amateur winemaking competition will be held in Palisade's park on Saturday, September 15th after a bicycle ride through the vineyards. (Please check http://www.coloradowinefest.com/ for current festival dates and information.) Special tastings and seminars will happen at the Grand Valley wineries as well as other wineries in the surrounding region on Sunday.
