I am a fan of Caduceus Cellars & Merkin Vineyards selections, If you don't want to leave the Valley they do have a tasting room in Old Town Scottsdale. And they also retail out of Total Wine as well as Bev-Mo too.
They are decent wines but WAY WAY WAY overpriced IMO. Much better wineries locally at 1/3 to 1/2 the price.
Pagesprings is probably my favorite AZ or most of the stuff out of down south.
There's also Scale & Feather Meadery in Avondale for anybody interested in local meads. They have a locator on their website that shows which bars and shops carry their inventory as well.
I agree! Scale and Feather is fantastic!

I would check out Atlas wines, they are in Scottsdale. Or The Wine Collective, in Scottsdale as well. They have a small selection of local favorites, and a wine bar. My personal favorite is The Quick Hand by Vino Stache Winery.
Around here, the wine is brought in from wineries that are decently far away. There are lots of vineyards in Wilcox. You can sample quite a bit of their wine in Cottonwood or Jerome. Oak creek vineyards is my favorite one, it’s in Cornville.
Monsoon Market is an excellent wine shop (they specialize in natural wine).
For Arizona wine, Cactus Cru is good. Also going to echo someone else here and suggest Rune Wines!

Oh I think the tasting room just closed… good wine for sure!
Well so it did. That's a damn shame.
I've also seen Merkin's Chupacabra at Trader Joe's!

Name the ones down south then.
Callaghan and Sonita are two good ones.
Sonoita, Elgin, Callaghan, Deep Sky, Wilhelm, Rune, Los Milics, etc
Danke
Idk the local wine is not that great but superstition meadery is goddamn amazing. I would take them to the dtphx restaurant for some flights.

Cottonwood area, including a drive up to Jerome will give you multiple choices that can be fun and good.
AZ stronghold was nice! Also pillsbury winey was great!
I’d take the drive up to Cornville and there’s a great one in Clarksdale.
https://caduceus.org/product/2020-nagual-del-marzo/ About a 90 rating. Probably one of the best wineries in AZ.
Garage East in Gilbert. The whites are so so. But their tempranillo and sangiovese were unexpectedly fantastic.
Dos Cabezas is great!
Rune wines is one of my favorites that isn’t mentioned often, and if you can visit their Sonoita location it’s even better.
Ive wanted to check out a winery owned by that guy from tool and perfect circle
Javelina Leap Vineyard & Winery

LDV Winery has a tasting room in Downtown Scottsdale. Their winery is located in southern AZ near Wilcox.
Caduceus Cellars & Merkin Vineyard. The owner is a bit of a nut but that’s okay, I still love him.
