We noticed a winery in Estes Park while driving through town and decided to add Colorado to the list of states we have tasted wine in (Colorado is #28). There were several shops on the route into town that we wanted to explore as well. We stopped at the Sticks and Stones furniture store to explore rustic wood furniture. They had some beautiful pieces of furniture that gave us some ideas about what we may want in our house. David was also getting ideas for when he gets his woodworking shop back up and running. Next we stopped at a gift store that had a lot of interesting metal statues sitting out front of the store. Then we stopped at another store that had a lot of mountain related gifts. We finally arrived at the Snowy Peaks Winery in downtown Estes Park. We each picked five wines to sample so we could get a good cross section of their wines. All their wines are made on site using only Colorado grown grapes. We did not even know there were vineyards in Colorado! The wine was good so we ordered some local cheese and crackers along with a glass of our favorites wines and enjoyed relaxing on the patio. We ended up leaving with a few bottles to bring back with us to Texas.
