Clicqout in the Snow

Veuve Clicquot, the upscale French Winery famous for their Champagne buddied up with Aspen Magazine (short on content, long on bogus-ness) for a promotional event in Aspen. It's our least favorite "special" event of the season. There's no such thing as bad P.R. ....right?

Stuck inside of Aspen...(with the rock slide blues again).

The Colorado Rockies surrounding Aspen are the BIG BOY mountains.  2nd homeowners and tourists tend to forget that our "hood" can be extreme and unforgiving.  Travel into and out of Aspen is never easy.  Snow, wind, lightning, a short runway, A-Town is not the most convenient resort in the Torah.  Even summer-time flights can be "kinda bumpy".

Late last night there was a rock-slide on I-70 in Glenwood Canyon closing the road between Aspen and Denver.  The humongous slide shut down a major U.S. travel artery... indefinitely.    This was no ordinary road delay.  One eyewitness described rocks "the size of a semi-trailer" smashing down on a beautiful and super-curvey slice of Interstate 70 outside of Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

Cabin Fever-- yeah its real.  Check these pix courtesy of CDOT.  We're stuck inside of Aspen... with the rock slide blues again.  I-70 is closed man.

Pinons Restaurant in Aspen

Front of the House. Pinons Owner Rob Mobilian and his staff are always friendly.Pinons Restaurant is renowned for serving the finest meals in Aspen, Colorado. Established in 1988, Pinons is historically one of the toughest reservations to score in Aspen ( A-Spin can get you in).  Pinons serves traditional American cuisine fused with local ingredients in a contemporary mountain setting. Pinions is upscale, elegant, casual  and BIG FUN all at the same time.

CLICK OR CALL  PINONS  970-920-2021.

Pinons has Where's the Beef? Pinons / Aspen, Coloradoearned AspenSpin's vote for BEST STEAK in Aspen.  Pinons owner Rob Mobilian and his crew are "all about the beef " --and we love them for it.  Pair that with the fantastic selection of fine wines and you'll never have to eat anywhere else in Aspen.

Pinons bar menu is AWESOME too. At the bar, they serve a 2-course option for $35 and a 3-course option for $40.  AspenSpin has reserved the end seat at the Pinions Bar  (near the TV) for March Madness.  The month of March in Aspen allows us to combine two of our favorite sports-- extreme people watching and NCAA Hoops.  At Pinions we get to enjoy both of our passions while devouring the best food in Colorado.

In addition to the numerous "foodie" awards that Pinions has won, their highest achievment is inclusion into the AspenSpin's WALL of FAME.  Take our personal recommendation-- try Pinions, we guarantee you'll love it.  Click the pix to enlarge.
