In case you were wondering where, exactly, you could toss $22,000 down on a bicycle, Mill Valley’s Above Category (a rough translation of hors catégorie, which is the most difficult stage of any professional race) has you covered.

It seems somewhat fitting that, given Denver’s long cold winter, our summer is unfailingly hot. So warm does our kitchen become, I have — yikes — thought about chilling the red wine.

Yes, we here at Wine and Wheels are surprised, too.
