Vin48

If you’re looking for a spot to impress that friend who frequently uses the word “terroir,” look no further than Vin48. The bistro features lots of great bottles and more than 40 wines by the glass—yes, there’s a lot of pricey white burgundy, but they also have a lot of options for $70 and under. Grab one of the high tops in front where it’s usually pretty buzzy with small groups enjoying some post-work or après-ski time. The chicken liver mousse or the poached pear and burrata salad are perfect starters, as is the Colorado bison tartare. Always end with the orange-thyme Grand Marnier crème brûlée for dessert.
