Arizona Wine Week and Festival at the Farm

Gov. Jan Brewer officially proclaimed Oct 30-Nov 6 Arizona Wine Week. Hosted by Arizona Wine Growers Association, the week kicked off with wine soaked festivities like a 5k Grape Stomp through Phoenix, a rousing wine tasting competition hosted by Richard Ruelas of the Arizona Republic including more than 20 local AZ wineries, finally culminating in a gloriously gorgeous day at the Farm on South Mountain.

I couldn't have asked for a more idyllic setting, amongst the pecan trees (sigh). My romantic heart tends to swoon when surrounded by perfect weather and wine.

Eric pours for the ladies, including Amy Martin from Phoenix Bites, an awesome foodie blog.

Justin, part of the Stronghold, Page Springs family. Such a nice guy!

Paula holdin' it down for Stronghold and Caduceus... too bad Maynard didn't make an appearance

For a complete overview of AZ Wine Week, Wine Tasting winners and a video of the auction during which a winemaker dinner with Maynard Keenan and Mark Tarbell sold for $8000.00, check out my friend Tim Hilcove's blog The Weekly Wine Journal.
