Did you know that Arizona now has THREE federally recognized grape growing regions?! The Verde Valley, Sonoita/Elgin, and Willcox are all official American Viticulture Areas (AVAs).
Did you know that grapes are a LOW WATER USE crop? Data from USDA and Yavapai Collect shows that grapes use less water than the majority of other crops in our state.
An Active Management Area (AMA) in the Willcox Basin will have a significant negative impact on our vineyards and AZ wineries indefinitely. We urge all registered voters in Cochise & Graham Counties to vote against it next month. #wine#water#vineyard
Registered voters in Cochise/Graham Counties & love the AZ wine industry, we urge you to vote against the Active Management Area (AMA) ballot initiative in Nov. This initiative immediately puts a moratorium on irrigating any land that has not been irrigated in the past five years
