Recommended listening for dinner:

We all need to relax. Sit back, close your eyes, and take in the chill vibes. Wash in the sun with the loose sounds of Max Richter, Beck, Wilco and lots more.

Props to Basta for their top 38 of Denver mention in Eater!

BASTA is where a community gathers around a single hearth oven. A neighborhood eatery focusing on heirloom grains, stone-milled in house, combined with seasonal produce from local purveyors. We opened in 2010 in Boulder to share our love for wood-fired cooking, inspired dishes and pizzas, and creating an inviting and intentional experience. By raising awareness about heritage grains and seasonal ingredients, we have remained an ever-evolving eatery dedicated to our neighborhood and to sharing something different with our community.

Shout out to Johnny and the whole Squeaky Bean crew for a phenomenal opening in their new spot. Lots to look forward to from these guys!

Max MacKissock and Johnny Ballen created a serious following when they opened the Squeaky Bean in the LoHi neighborhood several years ago, turning out craft cocktails at a cozy bar and top-drawer food in a kitchen that had less equipment than a college freshman

A high price doesn't always signify delicious juice! What are your thoughts?

Exciting wines that tell stories of places and people and cultures are available for relatively little money, from good reds and whites to sparklers and rosés.
