Summer is still going strong in Park City. This weekend marks the 42nd Kimball Arts Festival on Historic Main Street Park City. This event is an amazing opportunity for art enthusiasts to stroll main street viewing works from 220 exhibiting artists.
Historic Main Street just minutes from the hotel via complimentary shuttle service.
Once known as Kimball Corner, the original Kimball Art Center building on the property operated as a livery stable built to serve the tiny mining community. In 1929, the site transformed into the Kimball Brothers Garage and for 43 years the garage served Park City’s automotive needs. In 1976, arts enthusiast Bill Kimball, along with support from members of the Park City community, transformed the dilapidated garage into a non-profit community center for the visual arts. Since that time, the Kimball Art Center has served art lovers in the Park City area by providing top quality exhibitions and events. Today the Kimball Art Center is free and open to the public year-round offering classes for children and adults.
Make a weekend of the event and book the Summer Renewal Package which includes a deluxe bedroom and three course dinner in the Glitretind Restaurant.

I attended a symposium at Ridge Vineyards this May.
Located in the Santa Cruz Mountains Ridge Vineyards was instrumental in creating a vineyard driven expression of a vintage year. Each year the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc changes depending on the how the grapes taste after they have finished their elevage. Their Montebello bottling is blended by a team who jointly recommend the blend for the vintage. Each year the blend of the Montebello will change slightly. Montebello ages very well. The 1992 I had in 2011 was perfectly poised and very beautiful. The 1978 Montebello was graceful and silky. The 2000 vintage tasted in 2011 felt very young with many years of bottle aging ahead.
