Meet The Team
&
Their Superhero Strength
​
Deep Roots Winery & Bistro harbors something exceptionally different than your average winery. Amidst their clean decor,
hospitable staff, and fragrant scents wafting from the kitchen window – superheros walk among them. Only rarely are they
called out by name, but more often than not, they walk among staff unbeknownst to their customers, possessing superhuman
strength.
​
In reality, there are no people with the ability to fly, shoot lasers from their eyes, or summon a storm of ice. In fact, they are just
regular people, born of regular human origins, but don’t let that fool you. The people behind Deep Roots Winery are tough. They
believe that a little elbow grease will get you farther in life than anything else.
​
Which is why they work hard every day, lugging cases of grapes, carrying shipments of food from trucks themselves, and putting their own sweat and tears into every ounce of wine produced on the property. The sense of humor they bring to their craft is unmatched, each member of the team wielding a superhero name that can stand the test of hours pressing fruit, perfecting recipes, and running a full restaurant and bar.
At the end of a long day, the smell of wine fermenting overwhelms their noses, and yet they persist. “Cutting corners” isn’t in their
vocabulary, and the labor of love is apparent in every detail of the guest experience.
Mistress Zin
Teara's first true love was wine. It was complex, elegant, rich and disarming. But most of all it was honest.
She has spent the majority of her life learning and crafting beautiful wine for her friends and family to enjoy. Seeing others' enjoyment coming from something that she had put so much time and passion into made her want to spread the love even more.
When she met Sensei Steve, she knew she had finally met someone who could help her achieve her dream...and so Deep Roots was born.
Sensei Steve
Steve spent his early career taming nuclear particles while at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Some say the nuclear exposure has given him a very special ability.
But unlike Godzilla, Sensei Steve uses his ability to make yummy wines as opposed to attacking Tokyo! When Sensei Steve met Mistress Zin, his desire to climb the Empire State building while swatting at bi-planes... oh wait, wrong monster!
Come in and you may just see the Sensei working his mad science skills on his latest wine.
The Black Truffle
Carol Ann's love for food started at the very vine-ripe age of 5. She could be found in the kitchen with her mother dancing around to Black Velvet playing on the stereo.
As she grew older so did her passion for food. It became an obsession and getting everyone together for no reason other than to eat was her M.O.
She became classically trained in the Culinary Arts and has continued to further her skills.
If you stop by Deep Roots you might just hear the Black Truffle singing a little Black Velvet in the back or "sweet talking" her older sister.

The Historian
I like piña coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne.
​
Savannah is our neighborhood historian as she works on her history degree through MSU Denver. She’s upbeat, sassy, and full of smiles even with a mask on. Ask her about cats, wine, or history and you’re in for a fun conversation.
Count Lambrusco
When he is not listening to madrigals or sulking in his claw foot tub, Camron emerges from the cellar to spend the majority of his evenings brushing wine and chocolate stains from his teeth.
The rest of his night is spent brooding over poems by Tennyson and scoffing at the latest wine trends.
The Harbinger of Dionysus.
As her veins are filled with the vinous spirits a metamorphosis occurs and she is possessed by the drunken rage of Dionysus. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop one spreads the word of the god of wine in a state of disgruntled ecstasy.
Captain Rainbow Meltdown
Pale, occasionally inelegant, and very good befriending your pet, Kate is often just trying to get through the day without succumbing to the urge to keep dying her hair exciting colors, or buy more plants she long ran out of room for in her apartment. She is happiest in the snow, watching indie sci-fi / horror films (Pinot Noir in hand), and bringing joy to others through serving them delicious food and wine.
