My trip to Salt Lake was worth it for the Park City Wine Festival alone Autumn drapes itself over the mountains like a soft felt patchwork of copper and yellow and serenity. Clusters of white aspens with leaves of shimmering gold coins stand in silent prayer to a blue topaz sky, crested by snow-capped peaks that crown the valley below.
Wine enthusiasts gather in this beauty, and mingle with master winemakers from around the world for the annual Park City Wine Festival near Salt Lake City, while savouring the most incredible showcase of over 500 different international wines, beer and spirits.
The pale pink Chateau d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé from Provence underscores our salad of endives, radicchio and rosé-poached pear with cranberries and chevre, adding a subtle perfume of strawberries and light balance of acidity.
