A Toast to Arizona Wines

By the standards of California winemakers, that portion of Arizona capable of sustaining vineyards for the production of wine is no better than the worst of California's regions, areas whose grapes are commonly fit only for the making of raisins or alcohol. Surprising, then, to find that grapes grown 20 miles north of Tucson should be capable of producing wines as good as the best of the Napa Valley wineries, whose labels command good prices throughout Arizona.
