After exploring Colorado National Monument, we decided it was time for more wine tasting at yet another local winery. This time, we ventured into Two Rivers Winery, where we ran into some other park explorers we had met earlier. I guess great minds think (or drink) alike. 🙂
Though there were 6 of us, we decided to share a combination of 4 wine flights. There were 8 different samples per flight, ranging from sweet to dry, in white, pink and red. Some of us are red wine drinkers, some of us are white wine drinkers, and then there is me, who will try it all if the name wine is in the title. There was a little something for everyone in these flights. Though in all honesty, I am really more of a dry white wine drinker than anything. I don’t care for sweet wines at all, regardless of their color, unless it is port. 🙂
Lauren is trying the wines with gusto and a smile.
Happy travelers.
After exploring Colorado National Monument, hiking around, a small lunch of fruits and snacks, and wine tasting, it was time for a full meal. We went to yet another restaurant in Grand Junction, called The Feisty Pint. The Feisty Pint was another restaurant that Guy Fieri visited and features on his hit show, Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.
The Feisty Pint offers pub food with flare. Again, we all ordered something different, both to eat and to drink. I started it off with a Mule. YUM!
Mike, Karen and I all ordered fish ‘n chips.
Larry ordered “potachos” or nachos made with tater tots.
Lauren ordered chicken fingers and Lori ordered a French dip that had been jazzed up a bit, or “jiuzzed” up as Lauren would say.
At the end of our meal, our tummies were definitely full and we were all feisty.
We all had a little voodoo in us and the voodoo ranger had to keep us in check.
After dinner, we strolled around Grand Junction some more then headed back to the hotel for an evening filled with fun and games and lots of laughs and comradery.
More fun adventures are still coming. This is only day #2. Stay tuned.
‘Til next time.

Sounds like you’re having a tasty trip, Jeanne. 😉
This is the second time in three days I’ve come across the term “mule.” Is it new? and what does it mean? I asked my husband at the restaurant, and he didn’t know what it was, either.

Thank you. We did have a great time. A Moscow mule is a vodka drink with ginger beer. They are served super cold and are delicious.

Lots of good wine and food, and beer too. Yesterday I drank a very good beer from New Belgium in Colorado called the “the Voodoo Ranger”, and incidentally you featured it. Your post brought back memories from, well, yesterday.
