Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

Arizona-grown? Tacos? Menudo? Carne Asada?
Nobody ever thinks wine.
We insiders have a feeling that’s going to change. For the first time for this fine state, the wine coming out of here looks promising. And we hear Jerome is on the brink of another boom…this one will be of the barrel variety. Good soil. Good water. Good climate. All the makings for a good bottle or two.
Maynard Keenan of Tool recently took to some grapes in Jerome. And if a rock star doesn’t know alcohol, I don’t know who does. So keep an eye out for the Arizona Stronghold Mangus. Or taste the Cadeceus Primer Paso. You’ll like it.
