Most know of the “Four Corners” region wherein Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah come together in a statehood tour de force. More important to our Apache mythology and the spirit of Stronghold is the great Sierra Madre Occidental –the massive mountain range found thrusting its way northward through Mexico into the U.S. Southwest. Here the Madrean-Four Corners: Sonora, Chihuahua, New Mexico and Arizona were once the homeland of the Chiricahua Apache, the mighty Cochise’s tribe. Prior to the formation of Mexico and then later the political boundaries of the United States, Cochise’s people migrated annually throughout this region following the seasonal productivity of the land. Our Madrean Four-Corners Club commemorates this landscape and these people by offering you a chance to explore and develop a sense of place through our wines and events.
DETAILS
Each quarter Members will receive six bottle shipments of Arizona Stronghold wines selected by winemakers Eric Glomski and Tim White. These wines are released in February, May, September and December at level discount. Wines can be shipped or held for pickup at our Arizona Stronghold Tasting Room in Cottonwood, Arizona.
Named after the mighty Cochise whose name translates to “strength of wood” we thought it oddly applicable to wine barrels and aging. Oak can easily overpower a wine– it’s about balance and nuance.
