Winemaker Dinner at Great Northern

Want to try the Cru Vin Dogs wines expertly paired with amazing food? You're in luck. Cru Vin Dogs is hosting a delicious and star studded event at Great Northern in the Denver Tech Center (see http://www.gntavern.com/index.html) on February 17th! It's our very first Winemaker Dinner in Colorado!

Our Winemaker, renowned in his field, Tony Wasowicz, will be there to discuss the wines, answer questions and talk about the process of making what is our current vino portfolio and all of it's progressions and complexity. I've seen him speak at a dinner after the bottling of our "Lucky" Cabernet-Merlot, and it really is an experience.
There also will be a surprise barrel tasting of a wine we're currently working on, it's going to be very exciting!
Above is a picture of Tony with his beloved Whippets, Jimi and Devo:

And a picture of his Whippets, (who love warm laundry), that I couldn't resist sharing :

You'll also be able to meet and greet with Cru Vin Dogs President, Mary Snellgrove and her husband, the artist of Cru Vin Dogs' labels, Jay Snellgrove, (Come visit us at the 1500 South Pearl Gallery for a close up look at his amazing work!)


Also in attendance will be Nurse Practitioner, (and CCI Calendar Girl), Randi Price and her very loyal Labrador,
"Lucky", (the same dog who graces the Cab-Merlot). They are both wonderful!

A winemaker's dinner would make a wonderful Valentines Day gift for a special someone if you're in the market!
Below is all the information about the dinner.
Don't miss it!
