NORTH FORK UNCORKED

spring wine release party
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
JUNE 7th and 8th
2:00 – 7:00 p.m. or until sold out

Join us and the 11 other wineries in the West Elks AVA, as we celebrate the start of the season during the annual North Fork Uncorked weekend. We're thrilled to release new spring wines at two identical culinary pop-up events here at our tasting room, hosted by Bonfire Oyster Co. and Best Slope Culinary, featuring two days of poke bowls, lobster rolls, and freshly shucked oysters.

The Wine

Made with grapes sourced from the Caspari Family Vineyard, our 2024 Albariño is the perfect match for seafood. Crisp, refreshing, un-oaked and filled with notes of Meyer lemon, ripe melon, and salt water taffy, this returning favorite reflects the perfect harvest conditions of the 2024 season.

We love kicking off the season with Sauvignon Blanc, as it is a ubiquitous summer wine. Tropical, expressive, dry, and light on the palate, this acid-driven Sauvignon Blanc remains a small-batch production of ours, and we are excited to share it with you – it's a must-pair with Chef Brandt's poke bowls!

The Food

We're excited to host Bonfire Oyster Co. for our spring wine release party, as oysters are the perfect match with dry, crisp, aromatic wine. This wandering raw bar features high-quality oysters, harvested straight from their waters to Colorado, and their sought-after lobster rolls, served hot or cold.

If you've experienced Chef Brandt's poke bowl presentation, you know what you're in for – fresh, vibrant, and layered with umami-packed flavor. Brandt mixes pickled and fresh veg, ahi sesame poke, fluffy rice, and a solid mix of spice.
