The editorial take

Wine by the glass spans eight varietals from $7 to $15, while draft beer features local Colorado breweries and a $25 mix-and-match bucket. Nonalcoholic choices include named mocktails and NA beer. The program is broad, consistent, and built for a crowd that does not order the same way twice.
