The girls & I celebrated National Women's Month with a private wine tour at The Infinite Monkey Theorem (IMT) winery in RiNo this past weekend. IMT is a female-owned-and-operated urban winery so it was the perfect spot to gather the girls together & imbibe in an empowering & care-free day, drinking delicious wine & learning about IMT's wine making process.

IMT has the cutest industrial-chic winery & taproom where you can go and enjoy their wines (with or without a tour depending on your preference). IMT was one of the first wineries to ever put wine in a can - so cool.

We arrived at IMT and got paired with our tour guide, Sally, in the taproom. Sally had an engaging, charismatic personality & was incredibly knowledgeable on IMT, their wines & their full wine making process. She answered all of our wine & winery related questions with ease.

We got to taste 4 of IMT's bottled, kegged, & canned wines during our tour. Sally started us off with a canned riesling and we made our way into the winery. I really liked IMT's Riesling - it wasn't too sweet and had distinct peach flavor notes with a nice mineral finish. This riesling was recognized by Food & Wine as one of the "40 Wines That Changed the Way We Drink".

Inside the winery, there was a vintage inspired seating area where we got to sit, drink our wine & learn from Sally.

IMT gets their grapes from the western slopes of Colorado (Grand Junction & Palisade) - IMT prides themselves on making wine that is mountain grown & city made. The grapes from the CO western slopes are transported to the winery in RiNo where they are shoveled into the Destemmer-Crusher machine. This machine is responsible for destemming the grapes, splitting the grapes open and then crushing them for juice.

One of the most interesting takeaways that I got from the tour is that the color of wine comes from the skin of the grapes. Think about red grapes - when you bite into a red grape, the inside is clear; it's the skin of the grape that is red. When the grape skins are left behind to ferment with the grape’s juice, the juice begins to extract color from the skins and thus takes on the skins’ color. The longer the wine ferments, the more color the liquid will extract from the grape’s skin.

Next up to drink was IMT's Rosé. The Rosé had great acidity & light carbonation that burst on the palate with flavor notes of strawberries & raspberries - nice & fruity making it a refreshing sipper for spring and summer.

IMT's wine is stored and fermented in barrels. Oak barrel fermentation gives wine its structure and allows for oxygen exposure to assist with the wine's maturity.

We got to see several of the winery's aging barrels. White wine is aged in the barrels for shorter periods of time than the red wine.

Next up to drink was IMT's The Blind Watchmaker Red blend. This was my favorite!

The Blind Watchmaker Red blend was a full bodied red with a strong fruity aroma and taste of crushed blackberry. There was a faint whisper of liquorice on the aftertaste.

Once again, IMT was one of the first wineries to ever put wine in a can - we got to see their canning machine as well as pallets and pallets of their canned wines.

We finished up our tour back in the tasting room where Sally bid us goodbye & left us to enjoy our final glass of wine. Such a fun way to spend the day with the girls & Happy National Women’s month!
