We loved the space, sat the bar and chatted with the woman working (I'm sorry I don't recall her name but she was great!) while we perused the menu. We started off with tasting size pours just to start and ordered the premium cheese board to start. I was pretty hungry but we were assured that the small is perfect for two and she was absolutely correct. The board was presented beautifully with a wonderful combination of cheeses, nuts, fruits, and meats. It went so well with their wines. All of the wines we tried were excellent, my favorite was the 5 barrel Cab Sauv. Loved the space, the food, their wines, and the service..definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

One way street and plenty of parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here on a Sunday afternoon and were the only patrons in the room. We struck up a conversation pretty easily with the owner and he gave us the down low on his story and wines. Vinnie Fera sources from the grand valley and Monterey California. They received most of their awards from their Monterey grapes. For the tasting flight, we got to taste the colorado experience (colorado wines) and the bottles he already opened, he let us try those as well! THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting here for 5 tastings will set you back about $15. I'd recommend coming here to get a taste of carefully crafted Colorado wines and if you don't like them, you can taste their Monterey, California wines!

A wine tasting consisted of five tastings that you could pick and choose from their library. We got two whites and three reds. My favorite was probably the syrah and malbec, both had nice fruit aromas. The whites were alright, they were very short and lacked the body and crispness I typically enjoy with whites. THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting here was around $18 including tip. I do like how it's all Colorado fruit and definitely a must try if you're in the Boulder area.

This new shop on the Pearl St Mall is a second location for a tasting room for Vapor Distillery. It…read moreis friendly and well stocked with their various products. It opened very recently and not just for the holiday season but to be available 7 days a week to walk up customers on the Mall. The distillery is to the east of downtown and needs a car to access. Not ideal for tourist and locals who frequent downtown, mostly on foot, whether you park in the area garages or use a bus to get here. We had wanted to try their product since I first heard of them several year ago and as my husband is a fan of imported single malts, we thought trying theirs would be a good comparison. He has a significant collection of rotating favorites, some of which I like and some I don't. We tasted several versions today, just doing free sips of several. There were other customers there too, but on a chilly day, not too many strolling around looking for things to do. We were greeted as soon as we came in as the single staff member balanced a series of customers. We were offered, but did not try, the various flights they serve in their little more private, seating area. But it looked like a nice option on a warmer more leisurely day. We tried their flagship American single malt, the port cask cured and the peated option. I also tried their bourbon as I like bourbon quite a bit. We did buy a bottle of their New American Single Malt. We plan to go back in better weather and try some of their other offerings. If you look at Vapor Distillery's website you can get a better view of the breadth of their products. The pricing was competitive for an American version of the imports we often buy.

I'm sure the line-up changes from year-to-year, but there were a lot of less-known producers and some distributors. There was very little wine from Europe which was certainly disappointing.
