Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean one cannot enjoy white wine. (White shoes however, are an altogether different topic.)

SPIRE is pleased to host Winter Whites on Thursday, January 12 from 6-8 pm.

Join Westword’s @swirlgirldenver / sommelier and chef Kendra Anderson as she guides an interactive experience featuring five of the hottest white wine varieties, perfectly paired with five snacks from Row 14’s chef Jensen D. Cummings.

Perfect for the novice and aficionado alike, you’ll be amazed at how ideal white wines are for drinking even during snowy months.

This event takes place above the city lights on the 10th floor of the SPIRE residences. Please check in at Row 14.

$39 per person inclusive, space is limited.

RSVP HERE>Reserve your spot by going to facebook.com/row14denver and clicking on the Wine Events tab. More information at row14denver.com or on Twitter #winterwhites

We hope to see you there!

The SPIRE Open House was held on July 17, 2009 for all current reservation holders and their guests.  It was the first chance for everyone attending to see the amenity floors (9, 10 and 42), browse the completed homes on the 30th Floor and have a drink while watching the sunset in the SkyClub (Floor 42).   The weather was beautiful, food was fabulous and drinks were plentiful….all in all a successful evening.   If you weren’t able to attend, stay tuned – we will be hosting another Open House!
