Valley of the Wind Winery
Filed in archive Wine Tours by tammy on June 25, 2006
It's been many years since I've visited Colorado, but while surfing through their web site, they offered up some beautiful photographs of the area. The mountains! Wow! I miss them so much - one of the problems with living in a semi-tropical climate down south.
Along with beautiful scenery, you'll get a virtual tour of their new expanded tasting room, and then of course, there are all the wines they now offer on line. I really liked the looks of this Pinot Noir, and yes, I'm a sucker for a pretty label.
LovelandFYI reports on this winery's success:
Business is pretty good for Patrick and Geri McGibney and their Valley of the Wind Winery.
So good, in fact, the McGibneys stretched outside the winery's first production and tasting room, and Loveland.
After opening in April 2004, Winery of the Wind launched a new tasting room in Estes Park in April of last year, and this past May expanded the Loveland tasting room into an adjacent suite - it is now in both 411 and 413 N. Railroad Ave. - in the downtown Loveland Train Depot. The expansion about doubled the size of the Loveland complex.
"With the growth we needed to expand the winery," Geri said. "We do a lot of different brands, but we don't do a lot of each one."
The expansion in Loveland also means the previous tasting room is now dedicated solely to wine making. But, even with the growth, Patrick's desire is to still focus on making good wine than worry about mass production.
"It's a real juggling act right now trying to get things together and not expand what I can't afford, but still keep up with demand," Patrick said. "You got to watch out that you don't sacrifice the quality of the wine."
