The Wine Inquirer is a wine education and resource center for the Southern Arizona consumer.  The site, currently in its beta form, continues to develop and expand while seeking suggestions and feedback from you, the reader.

The goal of the Wine Inquirer is to support you in becoming the most informed and knowledgeable wine consumer possible through weaving the expertise of local wine and culinary professionals with timely and relevant national and international wine and food themes.

While the Wine Inquirer presently targets the Tucson marketplace, our vision is to expand the site to the metropolitan Phoenix area, Scottsdale, Tempe, Sedona and other Arizona communities with dedicated wine and food establishments.

This Wine Inquirer is a dynamic site, all segments refreshed or supplemented on a varied schedule in order to offer you the most timely wine information possible.  However, as the site is in its beta form, improvements and alterations may be necessary from time to time which may require brief interruptions in the operation of some segments.  We ask for your patience as we strive for what we believe will be a meaningful and informative wine resource center for Southern Arizona wine consumers.
The Wine Inquirer offers many highly informative departments including:

Video Theater: featuring in depth interviews with local sommeliers, wine cellar managers, vintners and key retailers.

Wine Education: offering you an unlimited source of wine knowledge.

Wine and Food Pairing: focusing upon wine and food pairing strategies.

Best of the Best: wine tastings by my wife, Rosalee, me and others.

Wine Finder: helping you to track down value and quality wines by region; scouring the local retail wine market for you.
Other noteworthy and informative segments include the Collector’s Corner, Wine and Health, Wine News, our Blog, and the Wine Wizard, a fun quiz to test your wine knowledge. Our link to Localwineevents.com will give you a head start in resourcing local wine events in Tucson’s restaurants, bistros and wine outlets.  In time, we will work to identify additional special wine related events as well.

Once you have explored the site, we would like to invite you to complete our very short survey on your experience. Your feedback is instrumental to us in sculpting the final version of the Wine Inquirer.  Remember, this site is for you. As a small token of appreciation, a number of our restaurant content contributors have generously offered a reward for your time. Once you have completed the survey, just follow the instructions to choose your restaurant reward and print out the coupon. Please, only one to a customer.

Finally, I would like to personally thank you for your support of this new concept. Without you and your thirst for wine, this could not have become a reality. Whether you are a wine novice, just beginning to explore the vast universe of wine or a seasoned expert or collector, we hope that you will use our growing library of wine information as a valued reference source. So sit back and enjoy a bottle of your favorite wine with friends and family. After all, the experience is made for sharing………….Cheers!
