We were warmly welcomed, along with our pup, and decided to do a tasting. For just $5, we got five 1-ounce pours of our choice. They have a nice selection of wines, a comfortable tasting room, and a super-friendly host. Of course, tasting led to shopping, and three bottles of wine came home with us. The wines were very reasonably priced. A fun, welcoming little winery that was well worth the stop.

I'm sure going at nighttime would add to this. Plenty of seating and we got to choose where to sit. Limited bar seats though. We chose a a short back booth which was comfy. Service was good as well, greeted upon arrival and fairly consistent checking for how we were doing. Drinks were tasty, first one I had was the sticks and stones with the second one burnt bridges. Both had unique flavors and vastly different than one another. I'd go back to try a few other thi BHG s and see the vibe later at night.

If this was an LLC , the company continues to exist exactly as it did before--it just has a new owner. In this scenario, the new owner must honor the lifetime membership beer club membership. To me that's not showing good faith to it's customers. Will, I still come? Of course, but I'll never forget the betrayal. It's just bad business.

A great little stop for a any day trip south of Denver. Looking forward to returning with friends!

I asked for a restaurant recommendation near our hotel so we headed back in another ride share. Cook Street had called ahead to pay for a bottle of wine for us. Nice job turning a disappointment into a delight.

They had a very nice space for the weather. They were quite busy and our server warned us it was going to take a long time due to the amount of patrons. This would have been good to know before waiting 40 minutes to be seated. Good thing is that we were ready with our food order, because it may have taken another forever between our drink and food orders. Our spiced chai was full of cinnamon, small, and ok. After an hour of waiting, we finally got our Mountain Man Hash that looked huge! Unfortunately, its physical size did not deliver in flavor. Even with its pork green chili, this dish was disappointing. The green sauce was not spicy; the spiced chai was hotter than the greed chili. The pork was well cooked but flavorless. The hash browns were soggy and also insipid. The eggs did not save this dish. Overall, this visit was quite disappointing. For the prices they had on their menu, I was expecting an almost 2 hour wait to be worth it. However, it was quite the opposite. Even when we wanted to get out of this place after eating, service kept us hostage for another 20 minutes. I am quite unsure which gods come to this garden.
