Cold Brew Coffee Milk From Danzeisen Diary 
All week 

We've already told you about the top five cold brew coffees in metro Phoenix, but you might want to consider this alternative option, too. Laveen's Danzeisen Dairy has debuted a new cold brew coffee milk. The new product replaces the dairy's mocha milk, and features a blend of cold brewed coffee and regular coffee mixed together and blended with Danzeisen's 2 percent milk.

Italian-Inspired Cuisine From Wink 24 Kitchen & Bar 
All week

One of Biltmore Fashion Park's newest restaurants? Wink 24 Kitchen & Bar, which opened in June. The restaurant's menu features wood-fired pizzas, paninis, fresh salads, charcuterie, and cheeses, as the menu draws inspiration from owner Fernanda Borletti's Mexican roots and her husband Ruggero’s love of his native Italy. Guests can enjoy entrees such as polpette, or Italian-style meatballs served with a spicy tomato sauce and fresh homemade bread, and the 11-inch wood-fired prosciutto pizza. Pair your cuisine with premium wines, craft beer, and cocktails. Wink 24 is located at 2502 East Camelback Road, between Seasons 52 and Stingray Sushi. For more information, visit Wink 24's website.
