Callaghan Vineyards was our third stop. It is just a couple of miles east of the Elgin Winery. This vineyard was founded in 1990 and there are two vineyards from which their wines come: the Buena Suerte Vineyard, which is the newest one we visited in Elgin, and the Dos Cabezas Vineyard near Willcox, Arizona.

At Callaghan Vineyards there was a charge for the wine tasting, but a nice wine glass was included in the $3 charge. We picked up a bottle of 1999 Buena Suerte Cuvee, which is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 14% Syrah and 13% Zinfandel. Cost: $25.
