History Colorado and the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board host this public tasting for the top wines from the 2018 Colorado Governor's Cup Winemaking Competition.  Each wine will be paired with a tasting samples specially created by Colorado chefs using local ingredients whenever possible.

The Colorado Governor's Cup is the only statewide competition exclusively for Colorado wines.  The 400+ entries from more than 40 Colorado wineries were evaluated in September by a panel of judges made up of sommeliers, winemakers, writers and wine experts from Colorado and around the county.  Back again this year to judge the Governor's Cup was Warren Winiarski, whose Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars’ S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon won the 1976 Judgement of Paris tasting.  Before founding Stag's Leap Wine Cellars in Napa, Mr. Winiarski served as the winemaker for Denver's Ivancie Cellars in the late 1960s.

Due to the very limited production of many of these top-rated wines, this will be the public's only chance to taste all these wines in one place.  General Admission tickets are $45 per person and VIP tickets (early entry and access to sample previous years' winners) are $75 per person. All proceeds benefit History Colorado.  More information is availabe at https://coloradowine.com/event/colorado-uncorked-governors-cup/ or by calling 303.869.9177.
