WineInk: ‘Burgundy’ â the movie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the week Aspen plays host to the Aspen Filmfest, that Grand Cru gem of film fests. It is hard to believe, but this is the 47th iteration of the event founded back in 1979 by Ellen Kohner Hunt. And this year, the festival has included a wine film in its screenings. On Friday night, Oct. 2, at 8 p.m. at the Aspen Isis Theatre, there will special screening of a film titled “Burgundy.” This is a new-to-me film as it, just this September, made its world premiere at the Venice International Fi
WineInk: Smooth sommelier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was a recent Saturday night, and I was dining at the bar of Carbondale’s very popular Mediterranean restaurant Amara. I had already enjoyed a cocktail (a very tasty Negroni), so I was interested in a glass, rather than a bottle, of wine to accompany my next course.

This year, the Aug. 31 issue of the publication
WineInk: Snowmass Wine Festival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here in Aspen and Snowmass, our summer is book-ended by a pair of outstanding wine festivals. On Friday and Saturday, Sept. 18 and 19, the Snowmass Wine Festival convenes just days before the autumnal equinox ushers in the fall season on Tuesday, Sept. 22. If you recall, the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen ended its three-day run this past June on the Sunday of the summer solstice. Coincidence? Perhaps, but I like to think that having a summer season tucked between a pair of very different gatherin
WineInk: Top sommeliers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yes, it is harvest season, but it is also the season when you get the chance to vote for your favorite local sommelier in The Aspen Times’ Best Of awards. While Aspen is known globally as a great ski town, it is equally regarded by the world’s wine cognoscenti as one of the great wine towns. The confluence of collectors, outstanding restaurant wine lists and specialized wine shops combine to make this mountain village a paradise for oenophiles and those who simply enjoy fine wine. But the most i
