Press release from the Boulder Chamber: April 7, 2022 Wine Tasting Every Friday 5-7pm New to Pettyjohns- Whitewater Hill Vineyards- Sale $16.99 Whitewater Hill Vineyards is owned by Nancy Janes and John Behrs. While living in Boulder in 1998 both left the high-tech industry for 23 acres of vineyard in the Grand Valley. "We were fascinated that you can grow classic European grapes in Colorado. And then it sort of ran away on us…" Six years later, the husband and wife team were in the wine business, with John concentrating on grape growing and Nancy on winemaking. The operation annually produces 100 tons of ten wine grape varieties, selling 70% of its grapes to other winemakers. We have to give Ulla and John from Bookcliff Winery credit for our discovery. I asked if there were wines from Grand Valley that were as well-made as theirs. Nancy Janes dropped by with her wines soon after. We were Wowed! We're hoping to WOW you all with a sampling of our favorites. This press release was produced by the Boulder Chamber. The views expressed here are the author's own.
