Weekly Wine Quiz: The Wild West Factor1 min read

in wine quiz

Welcome to the Weekly Wine Quiz!

Based on feedback from ever-so-vocal-and-intelligent peeps like you, I do not supply the quiz answer directly in the post – you will need to tune back in later in the comments sectionfor the answer. I’m still on the road and just returning this week from Australia, so once again (again!) I ask only for your patience on receiving the answer (which could be delayed a few days, depending on my access to The Global Interwebs while Down Undah).

In a small homage of sort’s to last week’s focus on DLW and CO wine comes our Quiz question about a bit of CO wine history…

The Wild West Factor

The U.S. state of Colorado has a history of wine production and grape-growing dating back to the 1800s. Since 1990, the number of wineries in Colorado has increased by a factor of…?

  • A. 5
  • B. 10
  • C. 15
  • D. 20
  • E. 30

Cheers – and good luck!

    Joe,
    I am very well aware of the answer to that!! I just wrote a guidebook to
    all the Colorado wineries – *Exploring Colorado Wineries – Guidebook &
    Journal.* I think most people will be surprised at the answer. The last
    time a guidebook was written was in 2002, when there were 38 wineries in
    operation. Today there are over 125 wineries and tasting rooms (95 current
    wineries – and a new one just happening near Durango!).

    Since none of your readers can do math (or just don't care…) I'll jump in. The answer is 20. 5 (wineries in 1990) x 20 = 100 (approx. current #). What do I win? ;)

    Ok, and the answer is…

    D. 20

    Colorado now has approximately 100 wineries, most of them established within the last 20 years, and primarily finding fine wine success with cooler-climate European grape varieties Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Cabernet Franc, among others.
