Our favorite Arizona wine geek, Sam Pillsbury is no longer our hidden source for entertainment and great wine. The Sundance Channel tapped him as a “Tastemaker” ambassador for Phoenix. Watch the clip where he shares his passion for wine, art and favorite places to eat… including Quiessence! Thanks Sam!

Eric Glomski: Vigneron

If you’ve met Eric before, you’d describe him as a Wine Grower, River Activist, Outdoorsman,  Brewer… the list goes on!

Now you can add Touring Vigneron to the list. Eric is currently traveling with fellow wino & Tool singer Maynard James Keenan to sign bottles and promote  their Arizona Stronghold wines.

We know and love him for the incredible Arizona wines produced from his Page Springs Cellars and Arizona Stronghold Vineyards.

For years he’s been a visionary force behind the state’s growing wine movement but with a unique focus of making incredible wines accessible and enjoyable by everyday people, specifically families.

He envisions a new American wine culture similar to Western Europe where “…wine is seamlessly integrated into family and culture,” says Glomski.

 By the way, a Vigneron  means wine grower in French. You learn something new everyday.

Stop by Quiessence Restaurant & Wine Bar to enjoy a glass (or bottle) of:
