This is the biggest celebration of Arizona wine in the state. “Two years ago, we had a record number of wine tasters attend the festival. We are excited that festivals are once again being produced and we will have a chance to share our wines with everyone. This is our biggest event of the year and it’s wonderful to be able to share the story and evolution of the Willcox, Arizona wine industry with so many people.” This year, the festival has added “Beer Tastings” for those in your group that don’t care for wine.

“I’m not a woman, I’m an icon” is the affirmation that begins the series, which tells the story of the incredible life journey of a girl named Angeline who was heard of all over Los Angeles in the 1980s, but whom few people actually knew. In 1982, Angeline kim kardashian feet (brilliantly played by “Shameless” star Emmy Rossum, who has changed beyond recognition) decides to conquer the world and comes up with a clear plan.

What started as just a few wineries in the early 1980’s,the modern Arizona wine industry (viticulture originally began in Arizona in the 16th century when missionary Spanish Jesuit priests began to plant grapevines and make wine for sacramental use) has since grown into over 100 licensed and bonded wineries, many of which are receiving national and international attention and accolades for their wine.

With the recent approval of the Verde Valley as an American Viticultural Area (AVA), Arizona now has three AVAs: Sonoita, Willcox and the Verde Valley. This brings increased awareness distinction of Arizona wines.
