Sips: Cru Vin Dogs

Label shoppers, be on the lookout for Cru Vin Dogs [2] wine with bottles sporting gorgeous portraits of labs, golden retrievers, and German shorthaired pointers. These beautiful, anatomically-correct illustrations of our favorite furry friends were created by local artist Jay P. Snellgrove, and they catch your attention. Which is a good thing, because not only are these boutique wines excellent, they're a worthy purchase, with 10 percent of sales going to three canine causes: the Alie Foundation [3], Canine Companions for Independence [4], and Morris Animal Foundation [5]. We first discovered the Denver-based wine group a couple months back, and they've since become one of our favorite ways to spread some good [6]. My summer pick is the citrusy Sauvignon Blanc (perfect for tempering the heat), but I also love the rich, slightly spicy Cabernet-Syrah. Find these wines at shops like Mondo Vino [7] and DiVino Wine & Spirits [8], and restaurants such as Japon [9] and Solera [10]. Bonus: Check out Cru Vin Dogs' gallery, with limited-edition giclee prints. 1500 S. Pearl St., Suite 100
