Wanted to add to my review. We were in last week at one of the Meet the Winemaker events. The winery was Vino Stach, and the winemaker was Brooke. This is an Arizona winery. First, the event was very well run. We sampled several of the wines. One of the best parts of these events is you get to meet and talk with the winemakers. While there were quite a few a few people, Brooke made it around to each table when they poured one of the wines. We had the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and learn so much about Brooke, and process for making each wine. From how weather and soul affect a vintage, harvesting and aging the grapes to producing and bottling. Most of all you could tell the passion Brooke puts into making wine that people enjoy. Vino Stache is located in the Sonoita Arizona area.
These Wine Collective of Scottsdale events are truly unique. If you have not been to one, or have not visited their business I highly recommend that you do. Enjoy!
Zoya has created an awesome venue for experiencing mostly Arizona wines. Her and her entire staff are very knowledgeable and helpful in learning about and tasting wines. The location is great, right in Old Town Scottsdale, and the space is very inviting, especially the patio! They also host many events like Meet the Winemaker. And, don’t forget to ask about...
Read moreMy friends and I absolutely LOVE this place. It's a small local business supporting other small local businesses! What's better than that?! The bartender Marc is always so friendly and knowledgeable. You do not need to actually "know" wine to drink here. He can talk to you for just a few minutes and will be able to recommend a few bottles for you to try. You will definitely like one if not all of them! It's almost like a fortune teller reading your palm... but with grapes. The owner Zoya is such a sweetheart. We booked out the patio for our charity group's Holiday Happy Hour and she set the whole area up so nicely for us. It ended up being the coldest week of the winter and she brought out heaters and had them ready warming up the patio for us when we arrived. She made us feel so welcomed. If you have the chance to go to one of their meet the wine maker events - JUST DO IT. They are so much fun. It's great to hear these people talk about their passion for their job.
Overall an amazing small business 100/10 would...
Read moreMy husband and I wanted to try different Arizona wines instead of having to hop from one vineyard's tasting room to another. So glad we found this place! It's just perfect for people who want to sample a wide range of styles. They have an incredibly diverse selection of local wines and the ladies working there are so familiar with them all. The set up is perfect: you can do an arranged flight or what we did, have them do a custom flight based on the wines you are looking for. I wasn't expecting to like much Arizona wine but I enjoyed every one they recommended. And everything is also available to take home (we definitely bought a few bottles!). Everything was reasonably priced, too. I really can't recommend this place enough if you want to get a broad Arizona...
