For the last several years I have taken summer trips to Colorado that are partially for business, but mostly for fun and this year was no exception. I certainly love the weather, the lack of humidity, and most importantly the natural beauty of the great state of Colorado! Looking around at all its wonders just makes me appreciate the man upstairs and all his creation!

While on my trip I enjoyed a few rounds of golf at two magnificent courses, took the Cog Railway to Pikes Peak, and attended a Colorado Rookies baseball game. One of the best experiences I had on this past trip was dining at a lovely five-star restaurant in the Denver International Airport known as the Mercantile.

This renowned restaurant has its original famous location in downtown Denver, and recently opened their secondary location in the Denver airport! When I walked into the airport heading back to Charlotte, I was both surprised and delighted to see a five-star restaurant. I was served a lovely lunch by my waiter Daniel Layne, and since he was a sommelier, he not only ordered my food to his liking, but also brought me a wonderful selection wine. I was so satisfied and subsequently slept very well on my flight back to Charlotte.

If you have ever considered visiting Colorado, I would highly recommend it and if you ever find yourself in the Denver International Airport, please check out Dan the sommelier/waiter at the Mercantile!
