The last few days of February bring us closer to spring, closer to sunny summer patio dining, closer to getting your COVID vaccination and (theoretically) closer to "normalcy" — if you can even remember what that looked like. In the meantime, there are still food and drink events to keep you busy both in-person and in your house this weekend.
Keep reading for the best events on the culinary calendar, as well as more in the weeks ahead:
Friday, February 26 Close out the month of February with a celebration of Black beverage producers at the Fade 2 Black weekend. The festival includes three-course wine dinners on Friday, February 26, and Saturday, February 27, each with four wine pairings from Black winemakers ($115). Adrian Miller, who appears to have the preternatural ability to be in seventeen places simultaneously, will be talking about historical contributions of Black Coloradans, including Barney Ford, a restaurateur, hotelier and civil rights activist in the late nineteenth century. Sunday, February 28, brings a virtual wine party with two bottles of juice, nibbles, music, a guided tasting and a chat with the producer ($75). Get tickets on the event website; dinners and wine kit pick-up are at Peak Beverage, 4375 Brighton Boulevard, though the wine kit can be delivered within Denver.

High on the wall behind the speaker’s desk in the House Chamber of the Colorado Capitol is a stained glass depiction of a man standing in front of a hotel on a boardwalk with a cane in one hand and a paper in the other.
Many might not know the story of the man whose name is adorned with columbines below his glass portrait, but that’s likely to change with the latest documentary in Rocky Mountain PBS’s “Colorado Experience” series.
