The First Press Fine Wine Festival, an elegant affair featuring tastings poured by over 20 wineries from Arizona and California, plus an unforgettable selection of food to complement the stellar wine offerings, is taking place this weekend at the Wrigley Mansion.
From 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 17, this premier wine event supports local public radio and allows guests to experience the opulent lifestyle of 1930s wealth and stunning 360-degree city and mountain views from the Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, located at 2501 E. Telawa Trail. Attire is semi formal.
Attendees will enjoy the allure of modernity next to the timeless history and grandeur of the Wrigley Mansion along with live music, exceptional food, wonderful wines and a wine-centric silent auction. While ticket sales for this event closed last night, you can still support your local NPR station, KJZZ, at kjzz.org.
The festival benefits Friends of Public Radio Arizona, which supports the programs and outreach of public radio in Phoenix, including KJZZ 91.5, K-BACH 89.5 and the SPOT 127 Youth Media Center.
“ArizonaStronghold has always been committed to helping local organizations support our communities," said Terry Glomski, general manager/owner of Arizona Stronghold. “The Arizona wine industry has grown rapidly in the past years and now has three AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) that recognize the quality of our wine-growing efforts. Partnering with First Press to support public radio is our way of giving back to the community and also increasing the public’s awareness of our wines.”
