Scarpetta Wine

You might have heard the names Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Patterson when it was announced that Pizzeria Locale was heading to Kansas City but did you also know that they have their own wine label? It all came about over a mutual passion for Friulian wine.

The pair worked together at The French Laundry, where Bobby was Master Sommelier and Lachlan the chef de partie. They moved to Boulder Colorado and opened Frasca Food and Wine. Bobby and Lachlan continue to travel to Friuli several times a year to envelop the culture so it was only a matter of time before Scarpetta Wine was born.

The Pinot Grigio is crisp and dry with medium high acidity and tastes of stone fruits, lavender, honey, pear, white flowers and minerals. The medium bodied Barbera del Monferrato is balanced with crushed berries, plums and hints of earth and porcini mushrooms. Their third offering is the “Timido”, a Sparkling Brut Rose with flavors of strawberries and touch of herbs.

What will be on offer?

-       Pinot Grigio (12%)

-       “Timido” Sparkling Brut Rose (12%)

-       Barbera del Monferrato (14%)

PRIVACY: Any personal information collected in conjunction with this Contest from Entrants is subject to the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy posted at:

DISPUTE RESOLUTION:  You agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise relating in any way to or arising out of the Contest, the Official Rules, or the award of prizes will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Dispute Resolution section. Please read this section carefully as it affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.  You agree that whenever you have a disagreement with the Sponsor arising out of, connected to, or in any way related to the Contest, the Official Rules, or the award of prizes, you will send a written notice to the Sponsor (“Demand”).  You agree that the requirements of this Dispute Resolution section will apply even to disagreements that may have arisen before you accepted these Official Rules.  You must send the Demand to the following address (the “Notice Address”): Legal Department, CMG Strategy Co., LLC, 1401 Wynkoop Street, Suite 500, Denver, CO 80202. You agree that you will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until 10 business days after you send a Demand.  If the disagreement stated in the Demand is not resolved to your satisfaction within 10 business days after it is received, and you intend on taking legal action, you agree that you will file a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitrator”).  This arbitration provision limits the ability of you and Sponsor to litigate claims in court and you and Sponsor each agree to waive your respective rights to a jury trial or a state or federal judge.  You agree that you will not file any lawsuit against Sponsor in any state or federal court.  You agree that if you do sue in state or federal court, and Sponsor brings a successful motion to compel arbitration, you must pay all fees and costs incurred by Sponsor in court, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. For any such filing of a demand for arbitration, you must effect proper service under the rules of the Arbitrator and notice to the Notice Address may not be sufficient.  If, for any reason, the American Arbitration Association is unable to conduct the arbitration, you may file your case with any national arbitration company.  The Arbitrator shall apply the AAA Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedure effective September 15, 2005 (as may be amended) and as modified by the agreement to arbitrate in this Dispute Resolution section.  You agree that the Arbitrator will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute you have with Sponsor.  The Federal Arbitration Act allows for the enforcement of arbitration agreements and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate.

You agree that you will not file a class action or collective action against Sponsor, and that you will not participate in a class action or collective action against them.  You agree that you will not join your claims to those of any other person.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Official Rules, if this class action waiver is invalidated, then the agreement to arbitrate is null and void, as though it were never entered into, and any arbitration dispute at that time will be dismissed without prejudice and may be refiled in a court.  Under no circumstances do you or Sponsor agree to class or collective procedures in arbitration or the joinder of claims in arbitration.  Sponsor agrees that it will submit all disputes with you to arbitration before the Arbitrator.

 All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the Entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Contest, or any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Sponsor, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules.

DMCA NOTICE AND TAKEDOWN: If an Entrant or third party believes that its work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a complaint to Sponsor at the following email: [email protected].  Please include the following information with any infringement-related complaint: (i) a physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; (ii) a description of the work that has been potentially infringed upon; (iii) an address, telephone number, and e-mail address of the copyright holder; (iv) an acknowledgement of a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized; and (v) a statement that the above information in your complaint is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Official Rules, or the Sponsor’s Mobile Terms and Conditions, if this class action waiver is invalidated, then the agreement to arbitrate is null and void, as though it were never entered into, and any arbitration dispute at that time will be dismissed without prejudice and may be refiled in a court. Under no circumstances do you, Administrator, or Sponsor agree to class or collective procedures in arbitration or the joinder of claims in arbitration. Administrator and Sponsor agree that we will submit all disputes with you to arbitration before the Arbitrator.

The Early Days, #4 Alameda

And then there were four. Our restaurant at 371 East Alameda in Denver is special to me, as it is for many others here at Chipotle. Despite this being our fourth restaurant, Alameda is first in many ways. This was the first restaurant I ever worked in, and the first time I saw how things were done in our restaurants. Way back when, I did my in-restaurant training there. I worked alongside some of the most talented, motivated and enthusiastic people I’ve ever had the chance to meet. It was a great introduction to Chipotle, and this location will always be one of my favorites as a result.

This location is also one of Steve Ells’ favorites. He often used this restaurant as a test kitchen for new recipes and cooking techniques. I actually met Steve for the first time at Alameda while I was doing my training. He was working with then Restaurateur Pedro Huichapa, on some cooking techniques they would later use in our yet-to-be opened London restaurants.

Pedro is now an Executive Team Director, but he still looks fondly on the early days. “We used to give out free margaritas, and we had mariachis play during the openings back then. He said, "And yes, Alameda used to be the test kitchen for a few years. We trained the person who opened the first location in London on cooking from scratch. I was able to go with him to train the staff in London—it was amazing!”

Learning about the old days just made me like Alameda even more. Gretchen, one of our Restaurant Support Officers, was involved from the beginning, and recalled the grand opening. “I love the neighborhood,” she said. “We opened this restaurant on a beautiful spring night. The opening party brought about 500 people who filtered onto the streets and sidewalk. It looked like a block party!”

Gretchen also liked the restaurant design, stating, “It has one of the simplest layouts." There was, however, one obstacle they had to literally get around. She said, “There was a large beam in the middle of the food line, so they had to figure out a way to have the customers walk around it while ordering.” They ended up building it into the line as part of the decor, and most people barely notice it anymore. 

The Alameda location will always be near and dear to us. It was a friendly, neighborhood restaurant when it opened to Mariachi fanfare back in 1996, and the team is still able to maintain that same feel today. We hope you’ll come by and see us!
