>> QUEEN CREEK OLIVE MILL 144576-A1-2.indd 1 3/10/15 2:28:34Arizona’s PM only professional grower of olives and formulator of chef-beloved olive oils offers production tours and lots of samples. >> LDV WINE GALLERY Lawrence Dunham Vineyards of southeastern Arizona recently established a tasting room in downtown Scottsdale. >> SPHINX DATE CO.
