DanceAspen ends summer on a high note with ‘Take Flight’ and ‘Solstice’

When DanceAspen first reached out to Christel Stiver, wine director at the Hotel Jerome, about pairing wine with dance, she wasn’t sure what to think.

“I raised my eyebrows at first”, said Stiver. “It’s a unique and first-time experience for me, but I was very excited to have the chance to get creative.”

Stiver embraced the challenge, picking wines from the list with illustrative names that evoked dance movements in her mind, like Topotero Vineyard’s “Scar of the Sea” rose of pinot noir.
