I used to hate homework

 Not anymore.... I spent some time yesterday at the Pillsbury Wine Co. tasting room in Cottonwood doing homework. Studying up on Freitas Vineyard's wines, which will be available at the upcoming Sedona WineFest this weekend. Her Ray's Red, Merlot and San Giovese will be available and  you're going to be pleasantly surprised if you're not familiar with this small, family run estate operation from Cottonwood. If you're suffering Merlot overload, and they're all sorta beginning to taste the same, try the Freitas take on it! Thanks to Veronica at the tasting room for walking me through the Freitas wines, her depth of knowledge is impressive and her easy going manner sure evens out the learning curve.
