Former librarian turns over a new leaf

If you happen to be out in Palisade, one of Colorado’s most robust wine-making regions, you might want to check out Verso Cellars, run by Linda Cummings, who left her 20-plus year career as the former director of the Denver Public Library. Rocky Mountiain News Reporter Penny Parker has a brief interview. “We have one of the most orderly vineyards in Palisade,” she said, laughing. “You can stand down one row of our vineyard and see a straight line. Our little vines line up just like books on a shelf.”
Cumming, who lives with her family in Winter Park, will open the winery’s first wine-tasting room in Cooper Creek Square on U.S. 40 on Monday. Along with the Verso Cab, they’ll pour other select wines from Colorado vintners.
