Building a Case of Wine for Winter

In today’s episode, Montana is joined by beverage industry veteran, Myles Fischer, for a discussion on how to approach putting together a case of wine to enjoy during the winter months. 

Myles has worked in fine wine and mixology for many years in addition to being a trained chef. Today, Myles heads up the beverage program at Denver’s Peak Beverage, located at 4375 Brighton Blvd, Denver, CO. If you’re in the area we highly recommend stopping in to see Myles and pick his brain for some great wine recommendations.  

Here’s what we’re covering:

• Why you should consider buying a case of 12 bottles at a time

• Our approach to deciding which wines make it in the box

• Why bubbles are more than an aperitif

• Why aromatic whites are a must in winter

• Riesling doesn’t automatically mean sweet!
