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, including The Kitchen and Black Cat Bistro, dish up tapas-like servings of their signature cuisine. Bonus: On Wednesday, the hilarious waiter’s race between servers of participating restaurants kicks off the event. Saturday, 4-8 p.m. $60. Boulder’s Central Park, Broadway and Canyon Boulevard. For more information, call 303-442-4030 ext. 634
