How to NOT go to Vegas and Arizona Wine Country

My plans this past week end included a nice little escape to Las Vegas from the soon to be 100 degree weather here in the Valley. That did not happen and I am very sad to say I lost money and some respect for some people in my life. Oh well, C'est la vie! On a more positive note, while trying to decide what to do with my last free weekend before summer school, my girlfriend called. We were bouncing between trying to do Vegas, LA, San Diego, or going up North. Phoenix is really an amazing place to live because it is within driving distance of a bunch of great vacation spots. We decided on wine tours!

I had never been to a wine tasting before. My exquisite taste have been exclusive to the likes of Bud Light. Thank you high school and freshmen year of college. Arizona wine was surprisingly excellent! We only made it to two wineries (thank goodness, because I had to nap in the car). We spent an excellent afternoon basking in the "spring" sunshine and enjoying the creek.

Have you ever been wine tasting? What's your favorite wine?
