2009 Arizona Wine Growers Competition
( This was the very first AWGA wine competition in the state of Arizona. both of these wines were 100% pure varietal, single Arizona vineyard wines from a tiny vineyard that use to be known as Crop Circle in Wilcox Arizona. The vineyard was planted in the shape of a crop circle. Since then it was sold and renamed, The vines were pulled out. The organizers of the event called us because they did not believe we made the wine or that it was Arizona wine. And of course we were telling the truth and had the grape purchase receipts to prove it .LOL! )
