SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Between the Vines with Richard Ruelas
DESCRIPTION:Join azcentral and Republic reporter Richard Ruelas and the Arizona Vignerons Alliance for a night celebrating the state’s wine industry at The Phoenician's Estrella Theatre. 
\nBetween the Vines is a wine tasting event AND a variety show –  with music, storytelling, a tiny how-to talk, and visual art – all built around Ruelas’ writing about the state's wines and the people who make them. We invite you to an adventurous night of entertainment and insight.
\nThere will also be wine sampling and (pretty fabulous) passed appetizers. You get six 1-ounce pours with the purchase of your ticket.
\nThe night's emcee is Republic reporter Garrett Mitchell. 
\nExpect: 
\n1. A tiny how-to talk from J&G Steakhouse's Patrick Norton on ordering wine without feeling awkward.
\n2. The announcement of the first wines to earn certification by the Arizona Vignerons Alliance and a conversation about what this honor means and how it can help you find the best Arizona wines. You’ll hear from:
\n
\nKelly Bostock, Arizona Vignerons Alliance president, from Dos Cabezas WineWorks 
\nSarah Hammelman, Arizona Vignerons Alliance vice-president, from Sand-Reckoner Vineyards 
\nKent Callaghan, from Callaghan Vineyards.
\nMaynard James Keenan, from Caduceus Cellars 
\n
\n3. A visuals-filled art talk from Chateau Tumbleweed in-house artist Kris Pothier about her distinctively Arizonan label designs.
\n4. An interview with James Callahan of Rune Wines, who will talk about bootstrapping a winery in Sonoita while living in an Airstream trailer.
\n5. Live music from Sassy and the Sneak Attack, regulars at Kazimirz World Wine Bar.
\n6. A chance to drink wine, enjoy inventive foods and talk to all these people, and learn more about their work. 
\nWhy Come?
\nYou crave authenticity, connection and insight into your community and your world. 
\nThis night offers you access to key reporters, experts and news-makers behind some of our most compelling stories like you've never seen them before. This night is a chance to get out with friends, to enjoy a drink or two, and learn more about Arizona’s growing wine industry.
