The weather this weekend looks AWESOME with clear skies and warm days. The 30th Annual Telluride Wine Festival is happening throughout the weekend with various events and seminars. Nothing better than early morning tastings and old people stumbling around with purple lips by noon. The biggest news for the adrenaline types is the opening of the downhill MB trails in the Bike Park. For music, the best bet of the weekend is some Jamaican DuB/Reggae with Dubtonic Kru on Saturday night. Should be a heady time!
