I'm on a quest for wines of South America at the moment and was introduced to such an interesting grape yesterday! "Marselan" is a hybrid grape created from granache and cab sauve. While it was created in France in the 1960's to be tolerant of difficult weather and disease resistant, the wine I tasted was from Uruguay, which also has weather concerns, etc. So I'm shouting out to my grape growing friends in Colorado! Has anyone tried planting this grape yet? The wine was delicious! Big cherry on the nose with eucalyptus, mint, and an earthy component. The palate was medium+ in body with sandy tannins. It was very nicely balanced and downright yummy! Please tell me this is something we Colorado wine lovers can be looking forward to in the future! Sauvage Spectrum Restoration Vineyards

Wine’s Economic Impact in Colorado and Beyond! The 2025 National Economic Impact Study concluded that the production, distribution, sales, and consumption of wine in Colorado generates nearly $5.72 billion in total economic activity. These figures have increased from WineAmerica's 2022 Economic Impact Study, where the total impact in Colorado was $3.91 billion. - https://mailchi.mp/coloradowinefest/wineamerica-2025-colorado-wine-economic-impact-study

I 💕 COLORADO PINOT NOIR!!! They seem to always have a little oomph of earthiness that sort of hugs the telltale cherry and cola notes, adding dimension & elegance, not only to the nose but also the palate. This little beauty is a 2017! OMG! Many PNs, being lighter in body and lower in alcohol should be enjoyed within 3-5 years of their vintage. But this one from Stone Cottage Cellars from the West Elks AVA is showing beautifully and could still be cellared for a few more years! Yep, I'm a big fan! Many thanks to my lovely friends for gifting this to me. 🥰
