Pikes Peak Vineyards (Colorado) June 4, 2005
Off to Pikes Peak Vineyards and Winery, the only winery in Colorado Springs, how cool. They have the winery, a golf course (I was a member the first year it opened), fine dining and more. What a great place!
They were just about ready to pack things up so we were a little bit hurried but I still tasted two of their wines. Katie really liked both of these, and probably the others we tried. First was the Coyote White. I believe this one was a
blend, not sure what grapes, however. This wine has a lightly golden color with hints of sweet melon on the nose. Nice blend of flavors, the most prominent being melon. This wine is smooth, is pleasant to drink and offers good depth. Grade: C+
Next was the 2002 Riesling. This wine has medium legs and is a light gold color. Nice sweetness with good depth of flavors. Nice refreshing wine. Grade: B
