The craft beer scene continues to be alive and well in the Mile High City. But, the hops and barley that make Denver’s brews popular across the country aren’t the only adult beverage drink ingredients with national recognition. Colorado’s world-class grapes grown on the Western Slope, but then crafted, bottled and served at the Infinite Monkey Theorem Winery in Denver have recently been ranked as a top ten contender among urban wineries in the United States.
The Infinite Monkey Theorem in River North Shines among the Nation’s Best Urban Wineries
Sharing national recognition among top urban wineries in San Francisco, Portland and New York, The Infinite Monkey Theorem in Denver’s trendy River North (RiNo) neighborhood ranked 7th among the top ten urban wineries in a recent USA Today poll. Cited for its hipster casual tasting room that’s located in a 30,000-square-foot industrial building and its non-conventional approach of canning – rather than bottling – some of its wines, The Infinite Monkey Theorem is turning heads and making a name for itself in the nation’s wine industry. And, the wine that The Infinite Monkey Theorem produces is becoming so popular that the winery’s signature 100th Monkey red blend is Colorado’s highest-rate wine.

The Denver wine scene may be just in its infancy for receiving national recognition, but urban vineyards and tasting rooms have been a part of the Mile High City cultural for quite some time.
