2010 Thanksgiving Wines

We're bringing Mountain Spirit Winery Pinot Soleil and Angel Blush wines to Thanksgiving dinner this year.

A deep red blend of Cabernet Sauvgnon and Merlot, the Pinot Soleil is an award-winning wine in international competition.

The Angel Blush is another award-winning wine, a blend of apple, raspberry, and pear wines, for those who like a sweeter but light blush wine.

No Whining: Try This!

Blackberry Cabernet Franc from Salida's Mountain Spirit Winery. We discovered this late last summer on a trip to the Arkansas Valley. Mountain Spirit is our favorite Colorado winery. It's worth the trip.

It's tart but not overly sweet. No, you can't buy it in any retail stores. Go to their website. Better yet, join their wine club. You won't be disappointed.

Five Words About Wine

Mountain Spirit Winery Merlot Raspberry.



We are not big wine drinkers, but this winery is in Salida, Colorado and every summer we go there and buy a case of this wine. They also have a raspberry dessert wine that is soooooo decadent. They have a tasting room. It's well worth the trip.
