What are you excited to drink moving into Fall?
Fall is my favorite season for beverages! While most people are drinking pumpkin beers and Oktoberfest lagers, I personally prefer a maltier lager like a Vienna Lager, or a hearty brown ale. For some, Stout Season is just around the corner but it has already begun for me! The cold nights we've been having are perfect for barleywine as well. Fall always makes me think of apples as well, so I've been drinking cider from Big B's and Haykin, as well as Denver Distillery's Apple Pie Moonshine--the perfect beverage for passing around a campfire. As a nightcap I enjoy a small pour of Frederiksdal cherry wine!
What is your favorite local restaurant?
I have to say Cart-Driver! Their wood-fired neapolitan pizzas are fantastic, but don't sleep on the sardines with bread! The olive butter that accompanies the sardines is probably my favorite condiment in Denver! The chicken liver mousse is delightful as well, and they have the best late-night happy hour in town!

🍷 2019 Vigne Surrau ‘Surrau’ Rosso, Isola dei Nuraghi
This was the first wine ever produced at Vigne Surrau from their first vineyards and it is a blend of 60% Carignano, 30% Cannonau & 10% Muristellu. Fermented 20% in oak and 80% in cement. Aging: 20% in 25 hl Slavonian Oak, 80% in a mix of stainless steel tanks and cement. Aged for 9 months in the above, plus 3 months in bottle before release. Dark ruby color with a nose of blackberry, plum, dark cherry and oranges; palate matches the nose with dried spices and garrigue. Chewy tannins with bright acidity.
Vigne Surrau takes its name from the Surrau Valley, located between the communes of Arzachena and Palau in the heart of the Gallura appellation in northern Sardinia.
Tucked among the rugged hills with an impressive view of the Limbara granite massif, the winery is a shot fifteen minute drive to the Costa Smeralda and the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The location provides a perfect growing area for both white and red wines of extraordinary character and elegance.
Vigne Surrau is located in Sardinia, Italy. Situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia is Italy’s second largest island. Mainly a mountainous region, the terroir is a unique mix of unspoiled wilderness, oak and cork tree forests and a thorny scrubland of herbs and cacti known as the macchia mediterranea. In stark contrast to the rugged interior, the island has over 1,200 miles of jagged coastline, which is home to some of the most pristine beaches of the Mediterranean. One of these spectacular coastal settings is Costa Smeralda or the Emerald Coast, which is located in the northeast corner of the island. The area is part of one of the largest and most important wine zones in Sardinia - Gallura. The first and only Sardinian DOCG, Gallura means “stony area” which aptly describes the granite-based soils.

✨ Natalie Breaux ✨
Natalie Breaux was bitten by the wine bug shortly after moving to Denver in 2004. Fresh out of culinary school, she took a job stocking shelves at a local wine shop until she found the right kitchen to call home. She quickly realized wine was her true calling and swiftly traded her whisk for a corkscrew. A voracious learner, wine offered endless opportunities to satiate her curiosity; she wasted no time in pursuing wine certifications from the industry’s leading educational institutions.
Natalie earned her Certified Sommelier (CS), Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW), and the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Advanced Level certifications in 2007. In 2008, she completed the Certified Wine Educator (CWE) certification, earning the prestigious Banfi Award for achieving the highest score while passing all parts on the first attempt. In 2009, she completed the WSET Diploma, and became a French Wine Scholar (FWS) in 2011. Today, she is one research paper away from achieving her life’s goal, the Master of Wine (MW) certification.
Throughout her studies, Natalie aspired to learn every aspect of the trade. She has held positions as wine buyer and manager in both retail and restaurants, did a stint in distribution, and worked an all-Malbec harvest against the beautiful backdrop of the Andes mountains in Mendoza, Argentina.
Her aptitude and passion for writing, editing, and teaching has naturally guided her towards a career in wine writing and education. She began instructing Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) classes in 2010, served as adjunct beverage instructor for Johnson & Wales University, and is a lead instructor and online course designer for Napa Valley Wine Academy. She has been fortunate enough to work on projects for Jancis Robinson MW, Tom Stevenson, The Society of Wine Educators, and The Sommelier (now SOMM) Journal.
When she’s not obsessing about wine, you can find her dancing in her kitchen, entertaining friends in her garden, practicing weird yoga moves, or pretending to play tennis.
💫 Q&A with Natalie in comments!
Haykin Family Cider is an award-winning small batch cidery run by husband and wife, Daniel and Talia Haykin. With tiny bubbles, they produce a sparkling wine-like cider in a variety of sweetness levels. Elevating the apple like wineries treat grapes, Haykin Family Cider highlights the flavor and complexity of interesting and unique apples.
With a higher carbonation than other products on the market and no adjuncts (sugar, flavorings, or other additives), the ciders from Haykin have been likened to sparkling wines. The process is similar to white wine making and the results are extraordinary! Haykin respects the apple and its inherent flavors, acidity, and sugars while letting hidden attributes bloom with the help of yeast. The majority of the ciders are single varietals (being made mainly from one apple variety) with a few cuvees or blends showing up on the menu from time to time.

💫 La Boutanche Trollinger Wurttemburg 2020 💫
From a fourth generation winemaking family, Andi Knauss took over Weingut Knauss from his father in 2004 and has never looked back. Weingut Knauss is located in the hilly area of Strümpfelbach, which is one of five districts within the town of Weinstadt. Weinstadt, or ‘Wine City,’ not surprisingly, is best known for its vineyards and wine production. Andi chooses grapes from different plots in this region of Baden-Württemberg in the southwest of Germany. Some of his grapes also come from a few surrounding villages in the hills around the river Rems. Ancient limestone can be found layered beneath the surface of the rolling hills of vines in this idyllic area.
This red is made from the grape Trollinger, which Andi compares to a Jura Poulsard. La Boutanche Trollinger is a light ruby red color, with soaring aromas of cherry and berries, a grippy mouthfeel and a ton of refreshing acidity. Trollinger, also known as Schiava Grossa, is the most common type of the Schiava grape (of which there are many varieties) and originated in the Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy but is now mostly prevalent is Württemberg, Germany. La Boutanche Trollinger Rosé is young-vine Trollinger directly pressed into stainless steel tanks resulting in a salmon-pink wine with an edgy, spicy backbones and a wave of electric acidity. La Boutanche Riesling is zippy, dry, fresh, and lemony with an edgy acidity and prevalent citrus on the finish. Enjoy all three of Andi’s La Boutanche Liters, or choose your favorite one, but most importantly, “Choose wisely, grasshopper.”

Q&A with David 🙋
What have you been drinking this summer?
Besides all the samples I've tasted over the summer, my go to is still a bottle of Miller High Life and a shot of Tequila. (preferably Libelula Joven) Being raised in Wisconsin, I've learned to enjoy the simple things.
What is your favorite local restaurant?
There are definitely a lot of great local restaurants, but if I had to choose one it would be The Plimoth. I love that it is a quaint little restaurant in a quiet neighborhood. The slow paced atmosphere lets you really sink in and enjoy your experience. They have a great farm to table concept, and I always look forward to their changing seasonal menu. From the food and hospitality to the wine and cocktail list, the place never disappoints. Highly recommend it!
What is one of your most memorable wine/beer/spirit experiences?
If I were to pick an experience that had a huge impact on me, it would be my first trip to Napa. I got the chance to go on four private single family; single vineyard wine tours and learn the process of winemaking from the winemakers themselves. Learning about the different soil types, harvesting, crushing, fermentation and bottling was an amazing educational experience. Every vineyard and every bottle has a story!
What is your favorite food/drink pairing?
My favorite food and drink pairing would be Champagne and Oysters. The Umami flavor of the oysters seems to enhance the taste of the Champagne. It's almost serendipity how well the two pair together. Ideally, I enjoy pairing the two for happy hour on a patio.
