Twisted Rose Winery, Scottsdale

At Twisted Rose Winery & Eatery, wine not only plays the starring role, but makes a host of cameo and guest appearances as well. It starts at an on-site winemaking room, where Twisted Rose crafts and ages many of its wines. Patrons can enjoy these classic by the glass, bottle, or Super Soaker, or they can sink their teeth into dishes that use wine as a main ingredient. The pulled pork, for instance, has a merlot-based barbecue sauce, and the fettuccine alfredo gets coated in a chardonnay cheese sauce. It's all part of the plan, according to an interview in the Phoenix Business Journal. "We want the diner to experience these wines in every facet of their meal. Wine transcends simply drinking it by the glass."
