Creekside Cellars, Evergreen CO

Just as we start to chomp at the bit for spring, at the cusp of season changing in Colorado beautiful favorite spots start to emerge. I know there is already a following for this place, but I stopped in with my parents last week for the first time to check out a local winery. You can see the storage tanks as you pull in to park at this seemingly small building. The tasting room and cafe are small, but expand onto a deck out back, hanging peacefully over bear creek. Ducks linger expectantly below as apparantly my children aren't the first to toss a few crusts! The menu is simple and delicious, sandwiches, soups, antipasto and cheese selections. The six of us tried a little of everything and it was all fabulous.

The best discovery of all though was that we really enjoyed the wines! You can stop in for a free taste, but we paid $5 each for 5 pours. My father liked the floral Reisling ($12), but the rest of us preferred reds. The shiraz, merlot and cabernet would all make my recommendation list! The Merlot ($30) was my fave, a traditional rich, balanced blackberry wine. The Cabernet has a bit more spice, and was the most pricey at $35 a bottle.

There was an interesting selection of red and white ports of different styles as well, And yes we tried 3 of them. I preferred the Late Bottled Vintage.

As the weather warms up this will be an amazing place to hang out. The hours are early closing at 5, except on Fridays, which they are starting to stay open until 8. It is the perfect place for taking out of town guests. Check it out - you won't be dissappointed!
