Newcomers to Colorado, Tommy and Cindy of GotYour6, are exemplary cachers. They have jumped into geocaching with both feet. I've had the pleasure of caching with them, attending their Intriguing Minds events, and searching for their many hides in Berthoud.
If you know GotYour6, you know they love their Jeep!!! What you might not know is they also love their wine.
Colorado has been perfect for them. Like many Texans, they were surprised to learn that they could satisfy both of these loves here in the Rocky Mountains. When most people think of vineyards they think of California. Not many know that Colorado's high altitude, fertile soils, and pristine waters from the Colorado River create a remarkable grape.
I recently had the pleasure of joining GotYour6 on a tour of Colorado Vineyards. Though I'm not a big wine drinker I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go joyriding in the Jeep. On this tour I discovered that Cindy prefers wines from as far north as possible, while Tommy likes wines that come from the westernmost vineyards.

Tommy and Cindy each chose a red, white, and sparkling wine to bring to the picnic. I brought the cheese and grapes. Based upon their choices, can you determine where the picnic will be held?
