Bonacquisti Winery

Last weekend I did a Denver winery tour with some friends. One winery in particular stood out for its fun atmosphere and wonderful wine. Bonacquisti Winery, located Northwest of Downtown Denver, is owned and operated by Paul Bonacquisti. In addition, Paul is a fellow Executive Sommelier from the International Wine Guild. We met Paul and his wife during our tasting and they were both very welcoming and gracious.

My favorite white we tasted was the Bella Risa ($15). It is a Pinot Gris blend that was crisp, acidic, light, and fresh. It has tastes of melon, mango, and other tropical fruit flavors.

My favorite red was their dRed ($15). This wine is a blend of Sirah, Zinfandel, and Merlot; which happen to be three of my favorite types of grapes! It was fruit forward with a touch of spice and baked berry notes to it.

Both of these wines are ready to drink now!

If you live in the Denver area, I strongly encourage you to go visit this winery. If you don't live in the Denver area, then order a bottle online to try.
