Yesterday we explored southeast Arizona's wine country (who knew?) and visited Arizona's first winery, Sonoita Vineyards, established in 1983. According to the Arizona Wine Grower's Association, the Sonoita appellation is similar in climate and soil to Ribera Del Duero in Spain, Southern France and Paso Robles.
Willcox, Arizona, up on Interstate 10, claims to have Arizona's first store.
We came upon this Cowboy Church on our way back from the Sonoita-Elgin wine outing. This was a personal first for me; in doing some follow-up research, I learned that there are cowboy churches in several western states. They have short sermons, don't pass a collection plate and baptisms often take place in a stock tank.
