Phoenix wine bars split between neighborhood cafes and tasting rooms pouring Arizona's own high-desert wines. Postino Arcadia on Campbell Avenue is the original of the Valley's neighborhood wine cafe chain, set in a restored 1940s post office, with a Midtown sibling, Postino Central, on Central Avenue. Old Town Scottsdale gathers the state's winemakers, with LDV Winery's Rhone-style pours on Stetson Drive, Carlson Creek Vineyard on Marshall Way and Aridus Wine Company on Main Street, all working fruit grown in the Willcox high desert.
