For Tucson Area Wine Lovers



I'm about to make one of my personal recommendations, so I hope all of you like the vino! For those of you that truly enjoy savoring a nice glass of wine, there's a neat little wine shop you should try called Wine Brothers. The concept of a wine tasting bar in Tucson was relatively new when Wine Brothers opened in early 2007. Though there were a few wine retail stores that also offered tastings at the time, I find that the relaxed atmosphere, reasonable prices and casual Tuscan theme at Wine Brothers is unmatched. It's very easy going and fun; not at all stuffy like some of the finer wine tasing bars are. Besides having an extensive selection of great wines for sale, wine connoisseurs have several different options for enjoying their favorites on the premises. If sampling a variety of wines is your style, head up to the tasting bar and check out the daily selection that's being offered. If you would rather just relax with a glass of your favorite vino, make your purchase and then make yourself comfortable in one of the cozy leather chairs located in the lounge area. Can't enjoy a good glass of wine without something to munch on? No problem! Bring in whatever you're craving and have a seat at one of the many bistro tables in the cafe area. There's even a private room that can reserved for group tastings. If you'd like to make an evening out of it, make sure to stop by on Saturday evenings when there's live entertainment. Another new wine cafe and lounge, Armitage, opened at La Encantada shopping center. A brother to the Armitage wine lounge in Phoenix, I'd expect to find the same premium wines and Old World ambiance as in the Scottsdale location. Once I've made my visit I'll post on it and let you know!
