Author: Jay

Jay has been involved in the vineyard, winery, and winemaking world in a myriad of roles for more than twenty years. Growing up on the family estate (doing everything from cellar rat to national sales), and learning from the famous Napa Winemaker, Robert Pepi, provided Jay with an extensive knowledge of winemaking and an understanding of the importance of terroir and low-intervention practices. In 2007, Jay took lead on all winemaking at his family-owned winery, Canyon Wind Cellars, in addition to leading the charge into the next generation of Colorado winemaking with the development of Anemoi Wines. During his tenure at CWC, Jay grew sales, executed major marketing changes, produced world-class wines for the growing Colorado industry, and implemented cutting-edge winemaking and sales techniques. Jay also managed the day-to-day operations of what could be considered Colorado's finest vineyard- the Everyvine Platinum-certified Riverside Vineyard; as well, he was the recipient of Colorado Association of Viticulture and Enology "Grower of the Year" award in 2015. Before Jay returned to take over Canyon Wind, he spent a number of years in New Hampshire as a Boarding School Teacher and Ski Racing Coach. Jay served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board from 2014-2016; and served on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Association of Viticulture and Enology from 2013-2015.

Sitting atop La Mesa de la Piedad y de la Miserico Sitting atop La Mesa de la Piedad y de la Misericordia (the Hill of Piety and Misery) in San Luis, CO, the oldest town in Colorado, is the Shrine of the Stations of the Cross. Fifteen bronze statues created by local artist Huberto Maestas depicting the Stations of the Cross, the final hours of Jesus’ life, are positioned along a ¾-mile dirt trail that ends at the dramatic and beautiful La Capilla de Todos Los Santos or Chapel of All Saints, a Moorish-looking church built in the 1980s. Parking is free at the base of the mesa near that start of the trail and the views are stunning.

Near Cloudcroft, NM is the Mexican Canyon Trestle, Near Cloudcroft, NM is the Mexican Canyon Trestle, a portion of the former Alamogordo and Sacramento Mountain Railway. Constructed in 1899 and in use until 1947, it stands 52 over the valley floor, runs 323 feet in length, and was one of 58 trestles built on a 32-mile track from Alamogordo to numerous timber areas in the mountains, before being repurposed to transport tourists. The trestle can be viewed from an overlook on US Highway 82 or you can hike into it (like we did) on the Old Cloudcroft Highway Trail Loop. You can’t access the trestle, but you can hike right up to the edge and imagine what it would have been like to travel through this area back in the day. #roadsideamerica #newmexicotrue #cloudcroft #tinsheets
