Indulge
These goodies are worth it.

(page 1 of 2)

As CH&L’s editors travel across the state to cover the people and places that make Colorado distinctive, we often discover what we call our “new favorite things,” everyday indulgences or big-time splurges that we can’t wait to share with each other and with you. Here, a few of our must-haves this winter.



Organic Peru Roast
($10.55/pound) Bongo Billy’s Coffees, (719) 395-4991, bongobillys.com.

Why we love it: This Buena Vista-based coffee company roasts its fair trade beans at 8,000 feet to tease out the flavor characteristics of mountain-grown Arabica coffees.

Pismo glass chocolates ($30 without bite, $35 with bite) Pismo Gallery, Aspen, (970) 920-1313, pismoglass.com.

Why we love them: These gorgeous little teasers are the best way for chocolate lovers to stick to their weight-loss New Year’s resolutions.


Vines Wine Bar, Parker, (303) 736-VINE, vineswinebar.com.

Why we love it: This little gem in the ‘burbs offers about 100 wines by the glass. Pair your favorite with any of the bar’s tasty tapas (such as baked brie or wild mushroom ravioli) for a delicious meal.


Four-person Backpack ($60) Epic, Equipement de Vin, Denver, (720) 946-3287, equipementdevin.com.

Why we love it: A virtual party in a bag, this backpack comes equipped with service for four, including non-breakable  wine glasses, a waiter’s corkscrew and stopper.



The Mara Trouser ($195) Blu, Denver, (720) 941-8034.

Why we love it: You can never have too many pairs of blue jeans, and these trousers look great on all body types.
