Every year on the third Friday in September, International Grenache Day creates awareness for one of the most widely planted grapes in the world. It’s a day to celebrate this red-wine grape. Spain lays claim to the grape’s origins. However, other areas of the world are increasingly growing the Grenache grape, too. France, Australia, and the United States all grow this versatile grape. Many vineyards in #arizona grow this lovely grape quite successfully. LDV makes some extraordinary estate wine from their Grenache. #cheers! . . . #grenache #internationalgrenacheday #azvines #azwinemaker #azwinerocks #arizonawine #azwine #azwineguide #arizonawineguide #winestagram #wineworld #winepics #azuncorked #winelovers #oshootwine #vineyardphotographer #winebook

Pressing the harvest and taking the first taste of the future wine made by @breenation @az_vin_de_filles at Page Springs Cellars. The aroma is intoxicating… #syrah co-fermented & wild yeast - can’t wait to try! This is a women’s wine project produced by women to highlight the vitality and feminine strength within the world of wine. This is an ongoing project started in January 2020. We have documented the entire process. Proceeds will go to help women in the Verde Valley, AZ. . . . #az_vine_de_filles #azwinerocks #azwine #arizonawine #womeninwine #pagespringscellars #worldofwine #arizonavineyards #coferment #wildyeast #winedestinations #redredwine #redredwineyoumakemefeelsofine

It’s that time again! My favorite stage to be in a vineyard. Veraison is the ripening of grapes, and I love the colors! I have been so busy wrapping up my book I have not been able to get into a vineyard much, but I did this week in the #verdevalley @page.springs.cellars . #arizona is getting lots of national attention. My 500 page full color book will take you all over the state and introduce you to many of our winemakers. It’s been so much fun. Please check out my #arizonawine IG account, @arizonawineguide and follow if you like #azwine and want to see the latest. Get on the pre-order list #cheers . . . . #drinkarizonawine #drinklocal #arizonauncorked #azuncorked #azwinemakers #openlocalwine #openarizonawine #openazwine #drinkwine #visit_az #azwinemaker #azwineguide #arizonawineguide #winestagram #azwinerocks #arizonavineyards #winedestinations #veraison #wineworld

Summertime #lunches are so yummy! With so much focus on staying home & being safe in these unprecedented times, I go through a case of @blueskyorganicfarms #mesclun salad a week, delivered to my door by @scottsdalespecialty - so many organic options for #microgreens @arizonamicrogreens #berries #watermelonradish and just about anything you can think of, meats, cheeses and spices, too. Give Tony or David a call in the metro #phoenix area 480-704-4481 & let them know you saw it on Instagram 😀 Formerly they served the restaurant industry only, expanded to residential deliveries currently. ❤️🍽🥗 . . . #salad #mesclun #healthylifestyle #greens #organic #eatlocal #oshootfood #summerfood #ediblephoenix #phoenixfood #homedelivery

Nothing like offsetting a #manicmonday with a healthy salad! I could not resist getting out the macro lens for these #mircogreens ! My produce is home delivered from @scottsdalespecialty - they have so many sources of local goods in the #phoenix market. And then I use my @lemonettedressings , a small family owned business, from @sprouts to top it off. It’s a lemon-based salad dressing & marinade company - no vinegar, no sugar, no GMO, no Canola & no dairy. If you are going to eat a healthy salad, make sure your dressing is healthy, too. . . . #eatwellbewell #saladbowl  #eatgoodfeelgood #bestofvegan #yumyum #healthyliving #nutrition #saladalldayeveryday #cleaneating  #veganfood #plantstrong #veganmeal #dressyoursalad  #lemonstrong #supportlocal #eatlocal

National Rose Day is celebrated every year on the second Saturday of June in the US and Europe, with lots of joy! In 2014, Bodvár - House of Rosés founded the day to share their love of the rose wines. Since then the day has given the rose wine lovers a day to unite together and celebrate. It is one of the oldest known types of wine with its roots dating back to as early as 600 BC. The Rosé wine is generally made from the red grapes which make them very versatile in terms of taste, smell and color. Arizona has a broad range of Rosé wine to select from. Here we have @carlsoncreekvineyards #Grenache #rose - so delicious! Tasting rooms in 3 locations in #AZ Willcox, Old Town Scottsdale and Old Town Cottonwood #supportlocal #TogetherWeRosé #NationalRoséDay @bodvarrose . #roseallday #arizonawine #azwine #drinklocal
