Crested Butte Wine & Food Festival Program

We are thrilled you have chosen Crested Butte as your home this weekend! The festival will simply compliment the amazing array of offerings already found here in beautiful Crested Butte.

We are proud to be partnering this year with the Crested Butte Center for the Arts. There is a natural synergy with the Center that we saw through the Tour de Forks.

Since the Center has this excitement for the culinary arts already established, our collaboration with them is truly the perfect pairing. We have always wanted this event to benefit the community — and working with the Center fulfills this mission.

The Center provides a home for the arts in Crested Butte with live performances in music, dance, theatre, and comedy as well as classes in the visual arts and dance. With a core value of accessibility, inclusiveness and diversity to the arts, the Center strives to create a facility whose doors are open to everyone.

I’m privileged to be a part of this amazing organization, and I couldn’t think of a more fitting non-profit for this event. Thank you to the Center for the Arts for being such a great event partner.

I would also like to thank the supporters of the event, including our honorary chairs, Peter and Molly Maxwell and Jason Vernon; our sponsors American Summits, Crested Butte Mountain Resort, the wineries and winemakers, host restaurants, talented chefs, and event volunteers. Thank you for the generous donation of your time and talents to our cause.

It’s now your time to relax and enjoy the amazing mountain scenery, the festival’s culinary and wine offerings, and some great mountain company!

Sincerely,

Founder, Crested Butte Wine & Food Festival

Beginning with the opening of Timberline in 1989, Tim has utilized his creative spirit to establish and grow an impressive restaurant.

Tim also served as Sous Chef at Créme Carmel Restaurant in California. The enthusiastic clientele, unlimited produce and fresh Monterey Bay seafood ignited the spark of world class cuisine.

Chef Alex Seidel, Chef/Owner of the four-star Fruition Restaurant, studied at Western Culinary Institute before becoming Sous Chef at Antione Michelle and Chef at Carmel Valley Ranch both in California. Recently, Seidel was recognized by the James Beard Foundation via an invitation to cook for the 20th Anniversary “Dinners across America.”

James Blanchard Owner, Blanchard Family Wines blanchardfamilywines.com Blanchard Family Wines is the creation of James and Mark Blanchard, two brothers with a common passion for fine wines. As children, these two brothers were so closely associated with one another, they were often known simply as the Blanchard Boys. But as the brothers grew older, their lives lead them on different paths. James went to the Air Force Academy, became a military officer and helicopter pilot, and proceeded to start a family. Mark studied poetry, moved to California, and pursued aspirations of working in Wine Country. As they both discovered a mutual passion for fine wines, the Blanchard Boys came together again under this dream. This family business is the vision of two brothers who wish to share rare, hand-crafted, artisan wines with the world. Their winery and tasting room, located in downtown Healdsburg, California produces award winning wines under their own label, as well as numerous other private labels. Since their first vintage in 2007, they have continued to maintain their families focus while expanding their product line and supporting a number of charitable causes.

Judy Byron Grand Vin Sales Crested Butte, Gunnison, Montrose My passion for wine began in 1980 when I enrolled in a Geology course at the U of Iowa called the World of Wines — 4 core credit hours! In 1985 I moved to CB “to ski for the winter”, and… I accidentally got invloved in one of town’s finer restaraunts at the time and selling fine wine and food really got my interest, knowledge and desire to learn more. After many years, and raising two little ones, I was lucky enough to be offered a position with Grand Vin in 2006 — selling fine wines! I LOVE living in the mountains and being in all that it offers, whether skiing, riding my horse, camping, especially with my family.

Kevin Hall Winemaker, Alexander Valley Vineyards www.avvwine.com Kevin Hall has studied wine and winemaking techniques across the globe, but the AVV winemaker says his philosophy has always been to respect the inherent qualities of the estate grapes right at his doorstep.

Kevin, who has a Masters of Science in Enology from the University of California–Davis, joined the winemaking staff at AVV in 1998. Before that, he

2013 C RESTED BUTTE WINE & FOOD FESTIVA L

spent a year exploring the world’s major wine regions with his wife Paula. The pair worked at wineries in Bingen, Germany and Hastings, New Zealand.

Between assignments, while traveling through Italy, Spain and all the major wine regions of France and Australia, they talked to as many winemakers as they could, learning key techniques that other winemakers used to produce their best wines.

Under his direction, Alexander Valley Vineyards has won numerous prestigious awards including Top White Wine at the Sonoma Harvest Fair, Best of Appellation at the California State Fair and Grand Champion at Rodeo Uncorked.

Karen Hoskin Owner, Montanya Distillers Karen has been a business owner in Colorado for 15 years, and a distillery owner for the last five. Her graphic and web design firm Beckoning Design built brands for clients from 1996 to 2008, when she decided to focus exclusively on building her own brand. Karen combined her personal love of culinary cocktails and rum with her business development skills to start Montanya Distillers. Since then, the company's distillery and busy rum bars in Silverton and Crested Butte have been changing the way people think about cocktails and rum nationwide.

The company now distributes rum in 39 states and overseas.

Daniel M. Kratzer Wine Sommelier The wine path started at an early age for David while sipping on simple wines with his Italian grandfather. Through a diverse restaurant career wine has always given focus. His first winery travel was directly to the Piedmont in Northern Italy and there learning the intensity of the King of Wines: Barolo.

Holding sommelier positions with all Italian wine list selections in Colorado restaurants for a number of years, the natural progression was to live in Italy to further his knowledge of Italian Wines as well as the culture of this magic country.

Finding a position as the sommelier abroad the Orient Express Train allowed him the total submersion of study to Old World wines in the heart of Europe.

After recent 10 years in Boston and New York consulting to the top Italian wine lists; Kratzer is now Domaine Select Wine Estates. As the company wide Italian wine specialist, he is here to share the passion for the wines of Italy with colleagues, professionals, and all of us; the consumers.

Sean Razee Master Sommelier Sean’s curiosity in wine was set in motion while studying food science for his undergraduate degree in college, and through weekend trips to the Santa Barbera wine country. His aptitude for the sciences led him toward pursuit of a graduate program in wine-making, but shortly before heading to U.C. Davis, Sean was given the chance to run a wine and spirits program.

Sean further refined his knowledge while developing award winning wine and spirits programs for The Ritz-Carlton and Spago. After gaining the prestigious title of Master Sommelier, Sean went on to complete another internationally recognized diploma from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust. More recently he also earned the title of Certified Sake Professional.

Currently, Sean represents an international fine wine portfolio for Southern Wine & Spirits of Colorado to several key, ski resort accounts in the state.
