Located in the small town located between Morrison and Evergreen, this store is an unexpectedly well-stocked pit stop for wine lovers exploring the foothills.
When their local wine shop closed, Evergreen residents Dani Rooney and her husband, Ryan, who are originally from St. Louis, wanted to open a store of their own.
Turk, who runs day-to-day operations, originally moved to the Mile High to attend culinary school at the now-closed Johnson & Wales University in 2007. He later went to Metropolitan State University of Denver, where, on a whim, he applied for a scholarship with the International Sommelier Guild . From there, he went on to the Court of Master Sommeliers after being encouraged by his ISG instructor. He is also a BAR 5-Day graduate.
At the Kittredge shop, the wine selection is guided by Turk's experience traveling through the French and Italian regions of Champagne, Northern Rhone, Piedmont and Tuscany, which gave him an appreciation for small producers. Many of the wines available taste true to the varietals, “which is incredibly important,” Turk notes.
There are also some Colorado wines available from producers on the Western Slope, including the Storm Cellar, Wild Capture and Aquila Cellars.The shop offers two wine club levels, as well: Elk and Brisket , the latter of which is named after Turk's Great Dane, who is a fan favorite when he makes an appearance at the store.
