Every time we come to AZ we get here when they are sold out. I really want to get this wine. NIce older couple. Vineyard is right there. We were able to place an order for the wine they are going to bottle. Looking forward to it.

This guy thinks he can walk on water. Nothing but negative remarks about the other wineries. I think they are more concerned with the other wineries than anything else. I really think that the arrogance is not based in reality. THe wines were good, but not as good as the other wineries, that they were bashing. I would suggest that they follow the Sonoita Vineyards and Elgin philosophy of letting your wines speak for you.
Callaghan Vineyards (written Oct 27, 2008)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Nice wines. The owners were there and it was nice to talk with the winemaker a little. The only thing I can suggest to them is after stopping at Rancho Rossa, and hearing nothing but negative things about the other wineries, just stand on your own merit, there is no need to bring up anyone else. I liked the wines and the Callaghans, but really think they should distance themselves from Rancho Rossa.

We always stop here when we come to AZ. Our favorite place. They moved the tasting room from the old bordello to a really nice little building right next to the winery. Tables set up out front so that you can relax. This is the most laid back and nicest staff in AZ.

I always stop here when I am visiting wineries in Arizona. They were the last ones we saw, so we were nearly wined out. Wines and views were nice. They are the oldest and have a really nice observation deck.
Dos Cabezas WineWorks (written Oct 27, 2008)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
I have had these wines in the past, when they were made by the real Dos Cabezas Winery. I had really liked the Montana but found the wines a little flat. I was excited to hear that they had opened a tasting room, but really disappointed to find out the owner sold everything and the name was bought by someone else. I found them a little cocky, but not arrogant like their friend at Rancho Rossa.
