Canelo Hills Vineyard and Winery Take this short, 4-question survey and give us some feedback and ideas for Canelo Hills!
Source: survey.constantcontact.com
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete our survey. We'll use your feedback in our planning at Canelo Hills.
Here's your last chance to win a free tasting coupon in 2009. Who knows, maybe next year we'll change the rules so start guessing what this is a photo of. The correct guesses will all go into a hat and a winner drawn. Maybe we'll even select two winners as an end of year treat!
The Arizona Wine Growers Assoc. has an exciting, fun filled day planned for all on November 22. Winemakers from all over the state will gather to pour their wines and you will get to be a judge! There will be music, lunch, seminars...
. . . . that's someone who only eats food that is locally grown - technically within a 100 mile radius...
Here are some shots I took while we were closing up the winery this evening. Breath-taking!
Emma is guarding the soon-to-be released Sparkling Rose'. She isn't sure she wants to part with it any time soon. But in a couple of weeks she will have to. After all, the holidays are almost here!
You can tell my vineyard work for the season has slowed to a crawl as I am now following Tim around with my camera trained on him and his tasks. Here are some photos I took while he was disgorging the sparkling wine on Saturday. I'm sure he will be glad when I get back to work but I am having fun.

Tim disgorged our sparkling wines Saturday and they'll be ready and for sale soon! Watch our YouTube video on the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MetGp4Q6d

Our Winemaker, Tim, is interviewed by daughter and Marketing Director Kathryn about how he made our sparkling wines. The sparkling wine-making process, or Méthode Champenoise, is labor-intensive and fascinating.
A few weeks ago Terry Tang, a reporter from the Associated Press Bureau in Phoenix, made a trip to Soniota as background for her article on Arizona Wine. Although the article mentioned the northern Arizona wine scene, it really primarily featured the Sonoita/Elgin area. We got a nice mention...
Canelo Hills Vineyard and Winery Have you seen the documentary Mondovino? Do you agree that wine has become generic? Where do Arizona wines fit into the picture?

Mondovino (Italian: World of Wine) is a 2004 documentary film on the impact of globalization on the world's different wine regions written and directed by American film maker Jonathan Nossiter. It was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and a César Award.
Thanks for all your creative guesses to what, exactly, Tim was doing with a power drill and a box of upside-down wine bottles. After my mother posted a hint, Joe guessed it exactly: Tim was riddling the bottles, which contain this year's batch of sparkling wines...
Canelo Hills Vineyard and Winery A great weekend at Canelo Hills - Ian and Rhian were a huge help in the winery all day Saturday and especially with our fun and successful Cheese and Wine Pairing event that night. Thanks to them and to Cheesemaker Charlie Dimerling!
Canelo Hills Vineyard and Winery Check out this great article on AZ wine that was distributed by the AP. We're quoted!

In the last decade, more aspiring winemakers saw that the time was right and land was ripe for the taking. The ensuing clusters of vineyards have created a wine drinker's treasure map that has gone unnoticed by many — even Arizonans.
We got a lot of creative guesses but none were anywhere close to the winning answer. So, I am going to give you all a big hint. Tim is getting these already filled bottles ready for the holiday season. And, that is all the help I am going to give you!
