SATURDAY

Biscuits and Gravy @ Essence Bakery
The special for Saturday: Homemade buttermilk biscuits topped with special sausage gravy made with local pork, hyerbs and sauteed mushrooms, served with fried eggs for $8.95. If that doesn’t sound utterly delicious to you — I question whether or not you have a soul. Or taste.

“Blood into Wine” screening & Wine tasting @ Arizona Biltmore
I’ve heard good things about this movie. Follow Maynard James Keenan, member of rock-band Tool, as he takes the difficult path  from rocker to Northern Arizona wine maker, then taste some of his AZ Stronghold wines.
