Wine country

One week ago we went to the Wine Country in Arizona. Yes, it sounds pretty strange that but there is such a region. It is south from Tucson, near a little town called Sonoita. Then from there we went to a vineyard called Sonoita too but that it is somewhere here near Elgin.


The vineyard is pretty small and at the time we went there were no grapes. But anyway, we tasted several whites and reds. Their wines are very simple but good. We also had some food (we didn't do the pairing, we were pretty hungry by the time so we had steak (very good by the way, and I couldn't understand what the Australian guy selling that was saying) and beans).

Here, a friendly and playfull dog of the vineyard:

There was also music and lot of people. The weather there is cooler than here in Tucson. On our way we saw pines!! haha.

This was inside the place where they process the wine, it says Flood of the Blood, I didn't get it.

Some grass!!!
And this man explaining pretty well the process for making wines. I learnt more things now about the wood used on the barrels.


And Rachel has good post about this too. Go and see it, now.
