History
Colorado’s modern wine industry grew in the late 20th century; vineyards at higher elevations respond differently to sunlight and diurnal temperature swings than California’s valley vineyards.
Conservation
Many Colorado producers focus on water-efficient practices and reduced chemical use; consider buying local or asking about sustainable practices to support lower-impact winemaking.
