Eric Glomski still remembers the first time he discovered his “liquid landscape.”<\/p>\n

“I remember closing my eyes and smelling this wine<\/a>, and it reminded me exactly of the place where I harvested those apples,” he recalled in an interview with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Glomski had not been a winemaker at that time. He was a restoration ecologist, hiking the perennial streams of central Arizona, cataloging river systems and abandoned homesteads.<\/p>\n

It was there he found heirloom apples<\/a> growing wild. He hauled them out in a backpack, made apple wine with a mentor and, eight months later, experienced what he calls his epiphany.<\/p>\n

“I realized I was having an artistic experience with the landscape that wasn’t analytical, and it wasn’t scientific,” he said.<\/p>\n

He dropped out of graduate school, moved to California<\/a> and volunteered at wineries \u2014 sleeping in his truck.<\/p>\n

He finally landed a position at the acclaimed David Bruce Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains.<\/p>\n

For nearly six years, Glomski immersed himself in a culture guided by one principle: “What’s best for the wine?”<\/p>\n

WHAT HAPPENS TO OPENED WINE \u2014 AND HOW TO KNOW WHEN IT’S GONE BAD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Glomski said he always intended to return to Arizona.<\/p>\n

“I always wanted to come back to Arizona and make wines that expressed Arizona,” he said.<\/p>\n

In 2003, he founded Page Springs Cellars & Vineyards in the Verde Valley. The region’s volcanic soils, limestone deposits<\/a> and elevation offered what he saw as untapped potential.<\/p>\n

Contrary to popular perception, Arizona wine country is not a blistering desert floor, Glomski said.<\/p>\n

“My two biggest issues are frost and freeze, and monsoon rains<\/a> \u2014 the exact opposite of what people expect,” he said.<\/p>\n

His vineyards stretch from 3,500 to 5,500 feet in elevation.<\/p>\n

“It snows in my vineyards regularly,” he said. “People don’t realize this, because Arizona is very mountainous.”<\/p>\n

That elevation, combined with volcanic, limestone and even granite soils, allows him to grow Rh\u00f4ne varietals that express distinct personalities depending on where they’re planted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He grows Syrah in multiple estate vineyards, and said the differences are unmistakable.<\/p>\n

“They’re so distinctive because of these different ecological characters,” he said.<\/p>\n

For Glomski, that distinctiveness is the point.<\/p>\n

“I like to think of myself as an ambassador for Arizona,” he said. “I mean, obviously I have my own business, and I’m excited about doing well, but I really believe in Arizona too.”<\/p>\n

That belief was tested in 2006, when out-of-state distributors introduced legislation that would have prevented small Arizona wineries from selling directly to consumers and retailers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glomski and the other small group of winemakers received notice from the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control ordering them to “cease and desist all direct-to-consumer sales.”<\/p>\n

Wineries would have been forced to sell exclusively through wholesalers \u2014 even buying back their own bottles to pour<\/a> in tasting rooms, Glomski said.<\/p>\n

“It was this very heavy-handed middleman move to control the market,” he said.<\/p>\n

Working with a volunteer attorney and a handful of fellow winemakers, Glomski spent two months going “door-to-door” at the state Capitol, meeting “every senator and every representative in our state” to help reform the legislation, he said.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, we beat them,” Glomski said.<\/p>\n

In the decade that followed, Arizona’s winery count grew from eight to more than 100.<\/p>\n

“If that isn’t case in point about what a difference that made to the ability for a free market and these businesses to grow,” Glomski said.<\/p>\n

Today, that growth is finding a national audience. Page Springs’ Alma del Suelo red and white wines are featured in the Fox News Wine Shop<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The wines aim to introduce drinkers to Arizona’s emerging identity.<\/p>\n

“We knew we wanted it to really speak of Arizona,” Glomski said.<\/p>\n

He believes the state is still defining itself.<\/p>\n

“Arizona is still, I think, figuring that out,” he said. “But I don’t think it’s going to be as limited as that. I think we’re going to have regions developed that have really, radically different themes.”<\/p>\n

If lawmakers continue to modernize regulations and allow investment to flow, he sees enormous potential.<\/p>\n
