Roundhouse Spirits is a distiller of fine craft spirits in Boulder, Colorado. As a micro-distillery, Roundhouse hand-makes and bottles its award winning spirits in exceptionally small batches, using only the finest raw botanicals it can find. Distiller Ted Palmer leverages his 20 years of brewing and distilling experience to bend those ingredients to his will using a hand grinder, a Spanish copper still, American Oak barrels, and old fashioned ingenuity. The high elevation and clean water of Boulder, Colorado surely helps.

Mark Herold

Mark Herold’s fascination with wine started in his childhood home in Panama City. On his twelfth birthday he liberated a bottle of Port from his father’s cellar. After completing his academic career at the University of Davis with a Ph.D. in Ecology with an emphasis in nutritional biochemistry, he started his first foray into the wine world at Joseph Phelps Vineyards as the Research Enologist. Merus was a labor of love that Mark started in 1998, a cult Cabernet Sauvignon that he made in his garage in downtown Napa. Mark started his consulting business soon after with a client list that has included Hestan, Kamen, Harris, Buccella, Kobalt, Celani Family Vineyards, Maze and The Vineyardist. Mark is a Taurus and his favorite food is Sushi.
