While the nomination itself was an honor, the Storm Cellar was ultimately named Colorado's Winery of the Year at the recentThis award is not just about making exceptional wine, explains Steese, since so many Colorado wineries are doing just that. “It’s about trying to push Colorado wine as a whole into the public's eye more and the spotlight, and that has been a big part of the mantra since we started the Storm Cellar,” he says.
One way the winemakers strive to do this is by storytelling in order to give people a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into their wine. When the couple purchased the vineyard, they decided that their focus would be not on big and bold reds, but rather dry white and rosé wines that Henderson describes as bright, crisp, acidic, lively and aromatic.
Steve Steese and Jayme Henderson went from being Denver-based sommeliers to vineyard and winery owners.Despite dealing with a frost and a pandemic since opening, and mostly running the entire operation from grape to bottle as a two-person team, the result has been a positive one.
