Dining in Las Vegas
Not too many years ago, using the word dining in relation to Las Vegas would have elicited laughter from any gourmet. True, you could get a steak for $2, but it was barely edible.
Alexander Valley wineries
At the top of Sonoma County sits around 15,000 acres of prized vineyards. Within a total of 76,000 total acres, Alexander Valley has a variety of microclimates, which can support a magnificent range of grape varieties. On the gravelly terrain of the valley’s floor, Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme, as well as producing laudable Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc. Because enough coastal fog finds its way up the Russian River creating cool evening and morning conditions, Gewürztraminer and Riesling, have found a niche in the shadow of Mendocino. Overall the area is a warm growing area.
Food in Arizona
Arizona has a good irrigation system and a long growing season, farmers can grow citrus, wheat and a good variety of vegetables. Several typs of cattle are raised, primarily beef.
