An Arizona-based food, beverage and travel writer since 2008, I launched this website in 2015 to document my culinary adventures, beverage escapades, gardening endeavors, and travel in the Phoenix area and beyond. Also find a comprehensive calendar of Phoenix-area food and drink-related events on my Events page.
The AZ local wine regions of Verde Valley, Sonoita / Elgin, and Wilcox have just been awarded recognition as official American Viticulture Areas (AVAs). Celebrate this triumph with us as we challenge local wineries Cove Mesa and Stronghold Vineyards to a battle! Guests will blind taste 10 wines and judge which vineyard created the best pairing to elevate Chefs 5 course tasting. For reservations, go to OpenTable.
