Grab dinner at Spuntino

Tonight we're headed to a vineyard just outside of Denver,

followed by dinner at a James Beard nominated Italian restaurant.

This is a hidden gem for natural wine enthusiasts

and the inside is super cozy and intimate.

We did the 20 wine tasting for $20 at the bar.

This seems like a lot of wine to try, but the portions were perfect.

Honestly, who knew that Colorado can make such great wine?

Next, we headed back to Denver to Sputino in LoHi.

This tucked away spot is incredibly charming.

The menu is seasonal and it's full of surprises.

Plus they make all of their pasta in house

and you can definitely taste the difference.

This is probably my favorite dining experience I've ever had in Denver.
