    Verde Valley SanctuaryCottonwood AZ (December 14, 2021) – ‘Vin de Filles’, an Arizona wine grown, produced and bottled by women was released during its first annual Fund-Raising Party in mid-October at Page Springs Cellars. 

    The group of female volunteers ranged between the ages of 11 and 68. They nurtured two different grape varieties, Malvasia and Syrah since the beginning of the 2020 winegrowing season for their pied-de-cuve co-ferment. Jenelle Bonifield, a professional female photographer photo-documented the journey: pruning, shoot thinning, suckering, leaf pulling, hedging, netting, harvesting, pressing and bottling. Lauren designed the label showing homage to Page Springs Cellars and adding a feminine twist.

    Vin de FillesThe VDF project educates and encourages the passions of women beyond the food and beverage industry. A five-course pairing dinner was prepared by female chefs and winemakers from Arizona with a female musician playing live acoustic guitar. The event hosted a silent auction with wine donated by women winemakers from across the world including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and California and two pieces of unique art were created specifically for the event by two female local artists.

    All the silent auction proceeds, plus portions of net profits of ticket, wine, and t-shirt sales were donated to the Verde Valley Sanctuary amounting to $25,000.00. This donation will directly support a housing expansion project, which will increase capacity and provide the women of the shelter private accommodations for their families and pets. Verde Valley Sanctuary’s mission is to enhance the safety of and increase services for survivors of sexual and domestic violence as well as end additional abuse through communitywide education.

    The 2020 vintage is available for purchase at the Page Springs Cellars tasting room and a large portion of the net profits will continue to be donated to the Verde Valley Sanctuary. For more information or for 2022 event details, check out https://pagespringscellars.com/vin-de-filles.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
