Join the CSU College of Business Beverage Business Institute for a live Zoom event to talk with Colorado winemakers, an industry supply chain expert and participate in a sensory experience (see ordering details). Colorado wine production, distribution, sales and wine tourism in 2019 supported a total economic impact of $162.3 million in business revenues,1,360 jobs and $59.5 million in labor income. We’ll discuss with the panelists what’s new in CO wine and what makes Colorado wine special followed by a guided tasting. Of course, we’ll leave time for Q&A as we want this to be an open discussion on how CO’s unique terroir has become a critical part of Colorado’s business landscape.
Plan ahead: Crisann will lead a tasting so get the wines, grab your best glasses and sip along!
