 Colorado got smacked in the second Colorado v. Virginia Throwdown, a blind tasting Tuesday night at Colorado Winery Row featuring two states' often under-appreciated wines. We blind tasted through more than 30 summer wines across six categories, with Virginia taking four. This left Virginian Frank Morgan, co-organizer and author of Drinkwhatyoulike.com, beaming, and me looking for silver linings.

 It’d be easy for Guy Drew’s voice to get lost. If he were to shatter a case of wine on the floor of his winery, there’s a better chance a park ranger at Mesa Verde National Park would hear an upset bellow before anyone in the Colorado wine industry, which is unofficially centered hours away in the Grand Valley near Grand Junction. Drew’s namesake winery is located in Cortez, which means he has exactly one wine makeing neighbor — Sutcliffe Vineyards — and a whole lot of empty highway between the rest of the industry in any direction.

 Just six months ago, Kate Horton jumped from serving as sous chef at the Highland favorite Duo for an executive chef position at Black Pearl. Then someone convinced her it’d be a good idea to try to serve 80 some-odd strangers using the equivalent of a nice outdoor kitchen akin to one found in a suburban Littleton backyard.

 It’s pretty easy to picture a day in the life of Rick Bakas and be filled with enough jealousy to top off a French oak wine barrel. He has one of those jobs that just seems too good to be true. You can almost imagine that he has a bottle of a primo California Cab opened while he Tweets his work each day in Napa Valley. Yeah, Tweeting is in his job description. He is the director of social media and marketing for St. Supery Winery, a vineyard in the heart of California’s wine country.

If only the bottle of Virginia petit verdot hadn’t shattered when Frank Morgan was packing his bags for a business trip to the Denver area. Then there may have been some sort of conclusion as to which wine region has better juice: Colorado or Virginia. Instead we were left to wonder—and drink a Canyon Wind Cellars petit verdot all by itself—after the two states split the red blend and cabernet franc categories in a blind tasting of the No. 5 wine producer in the U.S. and Colorado (which is about half the size and falls just out of the top 10).
