Plonk loves Chico Hot Springs Spa and Resort
For those of you who know of Chico Hot Springs, you will not be happy that I'm letting loose an insider secret but here goes. Chico Hot Springs is one of the most beautiful, unique vacation/relaxtions spots in the world. This is a turn of the century Inn located in the geo-thermal rich area of Yellowstone National Park. It reminds me of a Regal, Old, European Bath House that was accidentally dropped from the sky and landed in a beautifully remote part of Montana.
The General Manager, Colin Davis, is as wine savvy as anyone in the country but you would never know it because of his genuine humility and mastery of hospitality. The one area that his wine expertise shines is his wine list. He carries everything from Domaine de la Romanee Conti to Brada Albarino from Rias Baixas, Spain. You can see why I would want 'plonk' to be a part of this list.
My fiancee, still a strange word to me, and I decided to stay a couple of nights at Chico, introduce the staff to our wine, and see if we couldn't generate some interest that may lead to a placement. Colin was out of town but he knew we were coming. After 2 nights pouring wine in the dining room for everyone that would try it, including a full bottle for the kitchen, I think we may have succeeded in creating some 'plonkies'. We'll see when Mr. Davis returns if the reviews are good enough to make the list.
