by Wine Country Inn

Lamb Chops Ingredients: (8 servings/2 chops for each person) • 16 Colorado lamb chops • salt & pepper • 1 tablespoon of canola oil Lamb Chop Directions: Lay out all chops on a cookie sheet or tray and rub salt and pepper into each chop on both sides. Heat heavy skillet that has been lightly coated with canola oil to prevent sticking. Sear chops on each side to develop color and texture.

Mint Apple Gastric Ingredients: (8 servings) • 8 ounces apple mint jelly • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice • 1 ounce red wine vinegar • 1 ounce apple cider Mint Apple Gastric Directions: Combine all the ingredients in medium size sauce pan. Heat to a boil and reduce by one half. Taste for adjustments. Serve immediately (or can be reserved for up to two days ahead and stored in an air tight jar or container for service.) To cool, pour the sauce into a shallow pan until temperatue has dropped to 70º in the first 2 hours, and 40º in the next 2 hours. Then store in container. Drizzle over hot Lamb Chops right before serving.

Colorado Wine Country growing grapes with ‘altitude’

Great Grapes • Colorado's grape growing regions include some of the highest elevation vineyards in the world. With more than 100 wineries in the state, the altitude of these vineyards ranges between 4,000 and 7,000 feet above sea level. Since the end of the 19th Century, wine grapes have been grown locally in small vineyards.

• Hot sunny days and cool, crisp evenings pair wonderfully for the Colorado mountain grape.

• Colorado is known for its Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Viognier.

• Colorado Wine Country is named by Trip Advisor as one of the top ten US destinations for wine aficionados. >>61<<
