Had a great time this past Saturday enjoying the 4th annual urban wine walk in downtown Phoenix. What better way to spend an afternoon than checking out downtown valley restaurants and having a little wine and munchies at each little stop. The walk included about 15-20 different restaurants from the downtown area as well as Tempe.
We actually parked off 1st Ave and Camelback near the site of one of the participating restaurants, had a little wine and flat bread and then jumped on the light rail to continue our wine tasting trip. At $3.50 per person for an all day rail pass why not just ride and relax. If you haven't done so I highly recommend this as the way to see downtown. No traffic hassles and no high parking costs either.
Had to do some walking from our original stop to get to some of the tasting sites but I have to admit except for one site that was a little out of the way most of the others were grouped together so it made it really easy to go from place to place and just relax and enjoy yourself. All the participating sites seemed well prepared and very happy to have one and all come in and check out their places. For me it was a great way to see how much the Arizona Center has been revamped and worked over, as well as being able to check out some of the newer places around town that otherwise would take months to visit.
Have to say out of all the places we visited on Saturday that Maizie's Cafe is the place we will be returning to first to have an actual meal. If the artisan pizza bites we received as our snack while wine tasting is any indication of their menu it should be awesome. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as happy hour from 3-6, Monday-Friday. Stay tuned for a full review coming soon.
