Next Tuesday marks the launch of FnB's weekly Meet the Winemaker dinner series, which runs from May 11 through July 20. Each event starts at 6 p.m., costs $48, and includes three courses with wine pairings.
While it's a good opportunity to experience Badman's badass cooking skills and enjoy the fruits of AZ vines, it's also your chance to meet the people who are bringing excitement to the state's wine industry these days.
