MEET: BEN PARSONS Owner, wine making legend from the Ordinary Fellow Winery.

Originally hailing from Kent in Southern England, Ben Parsons’ is known for his forward-thinking and willingness to challenge norms, Ben has made a significant impact on the wine world. He was one of the pioneers behind the canned wine trend and has also been a leading advocate for kegged wine. His innovative spirit extends beyond just packaging; he is continuously working to push the boundaries of what’s possible both in the vineyard and the winery.

Ben is a legend in Colorado wine making, consulting and inovating.

He started Colorado’s first urban winery. He spent the summer of 2008 driving almost 25,000 miles across the U.S. buying used wine equipment on a shoe-string budget which he housed in a rented Quonset hut in an alley of Denver’s Santa Fe Art District. Whilst setting up the winery, he made bi-weekly treks to the Western Slope to work with growers to fine tune vineyard operations. During the inaugural harvest of 2008 when the fruit was ready, he drove his truck to pick up the grapes in Palisade, returning to the hut in Denver for immediate processing.

With the founding of (The Infinite Monkey Theorem, (TIMT) Ben set out to dispel elitism and mysticism in the world of winemaking and wine drinking while concurrently bringing a quality product to the masses. He also strived to raise the flag of the Colorado wine industry, using innovation and creativity along the way. In Ben’s mind, he was a mad scientist, toiling and tinkering away, concerned with nothing more than creating great wine.
