Nestled in the charming town of Fort Collins lies a boutique gourmet wine shop called The Cellar. I went to their popular wine tasting event they host every Saturday and, needless to say, I was not disappointed. Fort Collins is a town of microbreweries, so it is not known for wine.

The O2 Lounge: Get a Whiff of This

O2 Lounge

With the possible exception of people sitting around hooked up to oxygen hoses, there’s not much about the O2 Lounge that looks like a hospital.
