Winery 101 Peoria

I pretty much gave up on finding a decent AZ wine, until I happened to stop at their tasting room up in Cottonwood several years ago. Everything I tasted there was delicious and my wife and I ended up signing up for their wine club. Now we have a wonderful wine spot to go to and grab several bottles! The people are always friendly and the love music is great. Not to mention the wonderful wine!Edit My favorite is Sweet Swinging Ernie!

We have been wanting to check out Winery 101, a family owned and operated tasting room in Peoria, AZ. The reviews we have read indicated their Arizona wines are solid and the tasting room is said to offer an intimate, fun atmosphere. Both of these bragging points were spot on. We really enjoyed the wine and talking shop with Irlyn Gallifant, who is the owner operator with her wine-making husband Gavin. They make wines under the Gallifant Cellars and Southpaw (Irlyn and Gavin are both lefties) Cellars labels. It is near the Glendale stadiums' restaurant and entertainment direct, with Winery 101 offering its own Friday-Sunday music scene. We love supporting the Arizona wine industry, and this establishment is a great place to do that.

An amazing tasting room that is a comfortable place to get an amazing glass of local wine reasonably priced and some nosh as well. Love the welcoming environment, great conversation and mouth-watering wine. I encourage all to check this place out.

The wine is very good and reasonably priced. I especially enjoyed the live music with Chris Yak. His kindness and friendly demeanor along with the great wine and friendly service made for a fantastic experience. I will be coming back again soon to hear him sing and play guitar. I will bring more of my friends. Cheers!!

The sangria is wonderful! And the style rotates. Which is fun and interesting at the same time! And I'm not usually a wine drinker, but I enjoy it!
