It's always nice when someone in California wine country sits up and takes notice of a Colorado wine. Such was the case with Bookcliff Vineyards Merlot, which was recently reviewed by a ContraCostaTimes.com reporter. In the publication's Cork Heads blog, Jessica Yadegaran wrote some flattering words for Bookcliff.
Under the headline, "Colorado Wine Rockies My World," Yadegaran wrote:
"Oh hush up. I know it’s a bad pun, but I live for them. And I’m ancy. I’m going home in less than an hour to light my menorah and make curried sweet potato latkes that I will wash down with the nectar of the mountain gods - a Merlot from Colorado."
"Yes, Colorado."
"I received the 2002 BookCliff Vineyards Merlot as a gift a few years ago and just got around to opening it last night, letting it breathe for half an hour and enjoying it with some curried Israeli cous cous and sweet potato soup."
"What a Merlot — Smooth, surprisingly crisp and light in body with all the classic aromas and flavors of plum, tobacco and soft cherries. This is a small production wine from the Grand Valley — the winery made less than 250 cases of the current 2004 vintage."

Book Cliff Vineyards Releases New White Wine
Assistant Winemaker and Sommelier Justin Jannusch and Sommelier and Salesman Mark M. Stephan at Book Cliff Vineyards have posted that they have released a new white wine. The duo blog:
"We just released a brand new white wine. "Visanne" is now available exclusively at our Boulder, Colorado tasting room. Visanne is a crisp dry white blend of 70% Viognier, 29% Roussanne and 1% Orange Muscat. This extremely food friendly white has hints of grapefruit, white peaches, lemon and lime zest. If you like our Viognier, you'll love the Visanne! Come in to our tasting room and try this wine and other great Colorado wine."
You can view their blog here.
We didn't see anything about pricing, but it bears mentioning that Book Cliff uses 100 percent Colorado grown grapes.
