THE VISTAS PAVILION PRESENTS EVERYTHING ARIZONA! CADUCEUS WINE DINNER
A special night of wine and dine, Saturday, May 18, themed Everything Arizona!, pairs wines from Arizona with a five-course dinner locally sourced and farmed from your backyard. Join Chef Josh and Chef Al as we take you around State 48 and discover some of the best Arizona has to offer. Reception starts at 6:30 p.m., with dinner at 7 p.m.
Caduceus Cellars is a small-production, family-owned-and-operated winery venture of Maynard James Keenan. Maynard is a Grammy award-winning vocalist for the internationally revered music acts Tool and A Perfect Circle. This international rock star has set out to rock the wine business. As enticing as it may be, their current limited production doesn’t allow for international distribution, and only a handful of blends are available for national distribution in select territories.
About the Vineyards
Maynard, a U.S. Army veteran, is winemaker and owner of Caduceus Cellars and Merkin Vineyards, with 110 acres under vine throughout the state. Caduceus Cellars produces approximately 2,500 cases a year. Maynard researched wine-growing regions around the world to identify the varieties best suited for the high-desert conditions found in the Verde Valley, Cochise County and regions in New Mexico. As a result, the winery is producing some of Arizona’s finest wines using Spanish, Italian and Rhone varieties.
Caduceus Cellars currently has five different blocks in Northern Arizona—Judith’s Block on Cleopatra Hill, Jerome, 4,900 feet, is a combination of limestone, volcanic and sedimentary rock. The Marzo Block, 3,500 feet, and at 3,300 feet, The Agostina Block, are covered with fine river sediment over a bed of calcareous substrate. The Elephante Block, in Cornville, has a minimum of five different soils/terrain profiles all on a 28-acre site. The Southwest Wine Center, Yavapai College Block, is nestled in the alluvial foothills of Mingus Mountain. All this is peppered with volcanic magic dust. The main fruit source for Merkin Vineyards is the historic 70-acre Buhl Memorial Vineyard in the Kansas Settlement of Willcox.
Maynard also is owner, winemaker and founder of the Arizona-based wine makers cooperative, Four Eight Wineworks, as well as a founding board member of the Arizona Vignerons Alliance, a quality control and winegrower’s data collection collective. He has been a participating member of the Arizona Winegrowers Association since 2009.
Everything Arizona! should prove to be an amazing opportunity to experience the bounty of our beautiful state. Cost is $75 per person. For reservations, call (480) 396-4000, ext 222.
