Upcoming Events
Pali Thai
East meets West with a convergence of Thai cuisine and love of sharing delicious dishes with community.
It doesn’t get better than Pam’s food and Mike’s hospitality.
Grab a curry, some drunken noodles, Pad Thai, a glass of wine and get your socks knocked off.
MaySupper Club
First Friday Supper Club Series
Our Supper Club is an evening designed to feel less like a night out and more like a gathering at the table. Chef Michael Winston and Winemaker Ben Parsons come together to create a thoughtfully curated, multi-course experience where each dish and wine pairing is developed in conversation—seasonal, expressive and meant to unfold as a story from first course to last.
With just 15–20 seats at the table, the evening remains personal, cozy and quietly unforgettable.
These dinners take place on our patio—an open-air setting that’s part of the experience—so we encourage guests to dress for the weather and settle in for a beautiful night outdoors.
Boozy Book Fair
Our May Boozy Book Fair is going to the dogs—and we couldn’t be more excited about it!
Curated by the merchandising mavens at Harlow Palisade and West Slope Mercantile, this month’s collection is devoted to WOman’s Best Friend. Expect a thoughtful mix of dog-inspired books, gifts and goods your best fur friend can’t live without.
We’ll also be joined by Underdog Rescue from 2pm-5pm for a special pop-up adoption—so come ready to meet some very good boys and girls who are looking for their people.
And because we like to reward happy endings: The Ordinary Fellow will be gifting a bottle of wine for every pup who finds their human parent. Win! Win! and wine.

Hummingbirds
Hosted by Lily Cain
The first hummingbirds have just returned to Colorado—tiny, shimmering messengers of spring—and we’re celebrating their arrival the best way we know how: with wine and a little paint.
Join us for a day of watercolor led by local professional artist Lily Cain, where you’ll capture the flicker, color and magic of these fleeting visitors. Think loose brushstrokes, jewel-toned wings and a glass of something lovely in hand.
No experience needed—just come ready to play, sip, and follow the flutter.

From crisp Rieslings to rich reds-each sip feels like a note in a joyful song or a scribbled note in the margin. Stroll through and let the books, music and wine carry you into spring.
