Northern AZ Wine Tour: Page Spring Cellars

Pam and Scott's daughter Dana is living in Phoenix, AZ these days, and has been doing some winery touring of her own. The following series of guest posts are from Dana as she tours and tastes at some of Arizona's local wine destinations.

The third of Maynard James Keenan's wineries in Northern AZ is the one I found the most delightful. As with Caduceus Cellars and Arizona Stronghold, the tasting room at Page Springs Cellars was beautiful, welcoming and had a bit of outdoorsy cowboy class that is unique to this part of the desert. But the wines were, of course, the best part.

Offering tasting menus to meet everyone's' tastes, Page Springs is sure to have something for even the most picky wine drinker. Just as at Arizona Stronghold, you can choose a white tasting, a red tasting or a combination. The wines taste very carefully crafted, as if the wine maker put much care into the wine itself. Which, of course, he did, I'm sure.

Unfortunately for me, I'm not a big giant fan of the Keenan wines. However, at Page Springs, we were able to enjoy a nice rose, and take a bottle home with us. And there is a fabulous white blend that I didn't taste, but I bought a bottle because I just knew I'd like it.

It's also gorgeous on the property as well. The tasting room is right in the vineyard, and you get to see the beautiful bright greens of the grape vines, being shined down upon by the hot Arizona sun. It's just amazing.

Swing by Page Springs, and the rest of the Keenan wineries for some of the most unique and outstanding Arizona wines available.
