UNCORKED A Utah Institution Ups the Ante on Wine Service
More Stops for Sips LA CAILLE
Each year, more Utah restaurants receive recog- nition for their wine lists. From extensive yet acces- sible offerings to unique programs of wines by the glass, it’s easier than ever to find a wine to remember. For a great tasting expe- rience, book dinner or an après-ski afternoon at La Caille, a French-style country estate located on
20 lush acres. It’s a magical venue, where every room has a fireplace for cozy sipping. Aficionados were thrilled to learn that Wendy Caron, a leader in wine education and promotion for years, is now behind the wine list, contributing to fostering what is already a great wine program that focuses on hard-to-find and rare vintages. “We continue
to focus on integrity and quality while offering a unique experience and a good value,” Caron says, inviting guests in ski duds to come as early as 4 p.m. to enjoy apps and wines by the glass. A Snowbird fan for the Tram and the lively atmosphere on the Plaza, Caron says she “loves Alta, too!” 9565 Wasatch Blvd, Sandy, 801-942-1751
