Get ready to enjoy some wine with altitude! What could be better than sipping fine wines and eating gourmet fare at 10,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains? Join us at the 38th Annual Telluride Wine Festival, Thursday June 27th thru Sunday June 30th!
We’ll be extolling the virtues of our Chardonnay as a panelist for the BUBBLES & STILLS: Building a Bridge between Champagne and New World Varietals Seminar, and contrasting our Cabernet with Uruguayan wines at the South American Patron Dinner out at Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy’s gorgeous ranch, complete with authentic Asadors and their parrilla spit roasted fare.

While unlikely Payton Manning will be there, we will! Don’t miss the biggest spring wine buying event in the upper Mid-West, and meet the winemakers from some of the most sought-after producers in Napa Valley. We’ll be pouring our portfolio of current and just-released wines, and Eric will be on hand to sign and doodle on your bottles. A perfect time to stock up on wine for the summer season and beyond. Call John at the Omaha Wine Company for your tickets.
