• Post: Not Yet


“Driving up to ‘CdE’ you would never expect the view once you approach their front door. I met ‘CdE’ in spring and the the 270º valley view was ridiculous complete with high foothills in the distance and snow covered mountains behind. It is jaw dropping. This is a husband and wife passion project and they have plans to grow, sculpt and expand their offerings. I’m guessing when I return in the future, my tasting and experience will be totally different because their list of plans is that long. I love to see new wineries sprout and it’s heart warming to see them grow and get better at what they do. Great stop for a group of friends. I would plan on a warm spring or fall day and don’t forget your sun screen because you won’t want to leave the deck.”
