Nestled among the peaks of the Sawatch Range, where tumbleweeds might theoretically roll if they weren't caught in the spokes of a passing bicycle, sits an establishment of peculiar perfection: The Biker & The Baker. My compass has unerringly pointed to their door every single time I visit Salida over the past five years. It is a tradition forged in sugar and chain grease, where the rugged American West meets the precision of French pastry. Pairing high-desert riding with artisanal baking seems like a recipe for a pile-up, but the execution here is a sweet ride. You will find aerodynamic cyclists sitting elbow-to-elbow with flannel-draped modern prospectors, united by a singular quest for butter. The Biker handles the gears, the Baker handles the tiers. They aren't just coasting on charm; they are pedaling toward culinary triumph, baking up a storm that rivals the monsoons over the Arkansas River. The confections are miniature monuments to indulgence. I have routinely panned for gold in this valley, but the true motherlode is their lemon tart--a symmetrical marvel of citrus striking like a high-noon sun. Their charcuterie boards are arranged with the geometric exactitude of a surveyor mapping a railroad. Whether you are gearing up to summit Mount Shavano or recovering from a grueling promenade, this sanctuary provides the requisite fuel. It is the exceedingly charming destination itself.

And for those of us trying to stay on a budget, $15-20 per bottle will also do just fine.

The only reason I visited this particular liquor store was because I was running late to a birthday…read moreparty, and needed some wine at the last minute for the gift. Because who loves being prepared for things like that ahead of time? So I Googled this store, pulled off the highway on the way into Pueblo from Canon City, and stopped in. First impression: Much bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Which is always nice. It's kind of the magical feeling that Harry Potter gets when he first steps inside those tents with houses inside, and life is just cozy and awesome. There is also a surprisingly nice selection of alcohol. I say surprisingly, because many of the smaller alcohol places in Colorado don't carry even decent selections of wine, spirits, and beer, so you tend to have to shop around if you want something specific, or of good quality. I didn't even know what types of wine I was really looking for (shame, shame), so when I walked in and saw all the racks of wine available, I was relieved, yet also slightly annoyed, because now I had to make an actual choice. Luckily for me, there was a very helpful and knowledgeable fellow hanging out that evening, who actually recommended a wine based on my request of "Well, she likes sweet stuff". He recommended several wines, to be exact, and even commented on the vintage. Needless to say, in Pueblo, CO, THAT talent is something you don't see every day. I wanted to give him a tip just for being a bit of a wine snob in an area that will never appreciate such snobbery. Definitely recommend. Even as a last-minute birthday present adventure.

Pueblo, CO - The Secret Gem Revealed…read more Hands down, the hidden treasure of Pueblo sits quietly on the west side of town -- Reservoir Brewing. I strolled in after a long day of convention chatter downtown, feeling like a city-slicker cowboy wandering into an old ghost town. I pulled up a seat at the bar, surrounded by locals swapping stories and laughs. Behind the bar was the owner himself, ready to give me the lowdown on the beers. He suggested their Revolution beer but warned me it didn't come out quite like usual. so they added mango. Being the adventurous type, I said, "Why not?" First sip... home run! Easily my favorite of the night. One beer turned into a few, and before I knew it, I was closing the place down, talking with locals and the owner like we'd known each other for years. It was so good I came back the very next day to finish the beer list and check out the food. And let me tell you; Lord have mercy..... the food matched the beer in greatness. Perfect beer food. I started with the spicy habanero cheese curds (fiery but addictive) and then went in for the kill: The Rachel Fully Loaded with turkey, pastrami, and bacon on marbled rye, with chips on the side. That sandwich didn't stand a chance. Every crumb vanished. Naturally, I enjoyed a flight and stocked up with a couple of growlers to go. (Flip Flamingo Rule #1: Always keep empty growlers in the car, just in case.) The owners also mentioned they're moving to a bigger location closer to the reservoir, hopefully in September. You'd better believe I'll be back for round two at the new spot. If you want the best all-around brewery in Pueblo --Beer Food Vibes , this is it. Drop in, order a pint, and tell 'em Flip sent ya!

From Scotch to Irish to Bourbon to American Whiskey - this place has it all. Plus, all the wine, beer, and other alcohol you may be seeking (they even had a few bombers of Deschutes Abyss from a few years back I believe is no longer being produced). The staff was welcoming and quite helpful. One of the gentlemen took me through the "Spirits Room" and showed me all the current offerings of barrel picks the owner selected. I greatly appreciated the 5 minute tour, but had so many choices and questions spinning through my head after. There is also a nice section of Colorado whiskies to the right of the main checkout counters that is nice touch. But why is this a 5 star review? Plenty of Colorado liquor stores have good selections and friendly staff. The reason I went 5 stars here is just the overall volume of bottles I had never seen, stacked floor to ceiling (and sometimes a few on the floor as well, so watch your feet!). I ended up walking out with a couple of store picks and cannot wait to crack them open in the near future. If you are in Colorado Springs and close to downtown - you must check this store out! Give yourself some time though, as there is so much to see and choose from.
