Wine Country is definitely not the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Arizona. But a growing number of vineyards and wineries are popping up and churning out vintages that rival those from some of the best known regions. And why not? Arizona boasts a climate of near desert-like conditions and high elevation sites (3000-4000 feet above sea level). Sounds not unlike Mendoza, Argentina, which has risen to fame for its bottlings of Malbec.
