THE WINE YOGI HAS GROCERY STORE WINE TIPS And she's answered the age old question "how do I find good wine in the grocery store" in this blog post. She also has a cool class this weekend but it's already sold out. She's on at 2:30.

WE SEEM TO HAVE HIT PEAK BREWERY And local breweries are struggling compared to the Glory Years a short time ago. One local brewery is doing something COMPLETELY different in an effort to keep chugging along (see what I did there?) and I'm talking to FlyteCo Brewing's new venture as FlyteCoworking Monday through Friday to create a work space in North Denver. Rarely does a co-working space have ample free nearby parking, an expansive outdoor patio and take place in an aviation-themed brewery space right off Tennyson. (Photos here.) The private co-working space will be open Monday-Friday. The space will transition to the normal FlyteCo open-to-the-public brewery starting at 2 p.m. Monday-Thursday and at 11 a.m. on Friday. Membership will be quite limited to ensure members will always have space for themselves and their guests. Of course, the space will have WiFi, on-site beverages, and affordable pricing. Find their location here. Owner Jason Slingsby joins me at 1 to discuss.

WILL ADVANCE COLORADO PULL THEIR PROPERTY TAX BALLOT MEASURES? We talked yesterday about the Governor being very afraid that we would vote to lower our property taxes on November's ballot so he is scheduling a Special Session that last week of August. Why then? Because if Advance Colorado, who is running the ballot measures, is going to pull them it needs to be before September 6th, which is the deadline to pull it. I've got Advance Colorado's Kristi Burton Brown on today at 12:30 to discuss what has to happen for them to take them off the ballot, but here it is in its entirety:Key Points About the Property Tax Bill in the Special SessionBackground• Polling shows one of the most concerning issues to Colorado voters this year is property taxes.• Property taxes rose by 30%, on average, across the state last year.• Homeowners have expressed they cannot afford another spike. They want a guaranteed permanent property tax cut and cap.• Under current law, homeowners will see another property tax increase next year.•

WHO KNEW THERE WAS SO MUCH DRAMA WITH AURORA WATER? If you've lived here for a hot minute you know water is a very big deal. Where it is, who owns and who has paid for it. David Migoya from the Denver Gazette has been doing a great series on Aurora water and the drama around a water purchase from an old mine in Park County and you should read it all. The parts in order here and here and here and here. This is a primer on Colorado water rights and how they work that is very useful. David joins me today at 1 to discuss the tangled web between Aurora Water and the developer who doesn't seem to be the best businessman in the world. It's Aurora's own Chinatown.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT FUSION STUDIOS? Fusion Studios provides permanent supportive and bridge housing to move people out of homelessness and into successful lives. One resident who is trying to get back on his feet has been sharing the problems there with me and others and I've asked Cathy Alderman, Chief Communications and Public Policy Officer to join me on the show to talk about it. From internet issues to people attacking other people while on drugs, Fusion hasn't shown to be the safe space many would hope for.

JIMMY SENGENBERGER HAS BEEN WATCHING THE TINA PETERS TRIAL So we don't have to and HOOBOY has it been a doozy. He joins me at 2:30 with all the juicy details so pop some popcorn and get ready. Tina was right when she said, "I'm f*cked". Jimmy wrote about it in today's Denver Gazette here.
