Although its industry is young, Colorado has a solid grasp on wine, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, in particular. This week Colorado wines enter the spotlight at the
Boulder Food & Wine Festival , where 27 Colorado wineries, like
BookCliff and
Balistreri Vineyards, pour their own blends, and 14 Boulder restaurants, includingÂ
The Kitchen  andÂ
Black Cat Bistro , dish up tapas-like servings of their signature cuisine.Â
Bonus: On Wednesday, the hilarious waiter's race between servers of participating restaurants kicks off the event.Â
Saturday, 4-8 p.m. $60. Boulder's Central Park, Broadway and Canyon Boulevard. For more information, call 303-442-4030 ext. 634
