The answer is yes: Colorado crushes some tasty juice. One of the leaders of this refreshing wave of great Coloradan wine is Ben Parsons and his amazing winery Ordinary Fellow.
His wines are beyond ordinary -- they depict the rugged continental climate that Colorado provides. Ben first took a summer job at Layton’s Wine Merchant in London delivering wine by bicycle across the city after completing an undergrad in Animal Science at Leeds University. It was through this experience his appreciation and curiosity about the wine world deepened, leading him to apply for a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship.
The scholarship took him to The University of Adelaide in Australia, where he honed his craft with a degree in Oenology. Armed with this knowledge and a desire to work in the Northern Hemisphere, Ben found his calling in Colorado, a state he had previously visited and fallen in love with. He was hired as the winemaker at Canyon Wind Cellars and moved in 2001, marking the beginning of his influential career in the industry.
Ben will be joining the Somebody people team for a deep dive into his exquisite wines.
