The fam took a little staycation to the Grand Canyon and on the way home swung through and tasted some fine wines…

The fam at the Grand Canyon…

I almost fell in…jk

Parker and I were trying to fill in the “big hole”…

The view is seriously unbelievable, you have to see it to believe it…

Check out the people sitting on the ledge, seriously step away…

Its seriously HUGE!

I was there…

Wild animals…

Dont look down, peep the Native Shoes…

Open roads…

So many options, the famous Route 66 in Flagstaff, AZ…

Local beer at Beaver Street Brewery

Cruising nature with PJ

Headed home through Sedona, if you haven’t been, GO!

So wife and I decided to partake in whats called “The Trinity of High Elevation Arizona Wines”
It consists of Page Cellars Cellars owned by Eric Glomski, Caduceus owned by Maynard James Keenan and together they own AZ Stronghold… So we hit all three, follow us…

These fellas Eric & Maynard have a film called BLOOD INTO WINE you have to check out… CLICK THE LINK FOR A MOVIE TRAILER
Who knew wine could be so rebellious, making wine THEIR way on THEIR terms…

Here’s the synopsis of the film…
“Maynard James Keenan is known as the front man for Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. In the mid-1990’s the reclusive rock star left Los Angeles and moved to an Arizona ghost town (population 300). A wine enthusiast, Keenan soon began to envision a world class wine region on the Verde Valley’s craggy slopes. With the guidance of wine mentor Eric Glomski (former David Bruce winemaker and current owner of the award-winning Page Springs Cellars), Keenan began the long road to bringing credibility and notoriety to Caduceus and Arizona Stronghold Vineyards amidst wine industry prejudice and the harsh Arizona terrain.
Take a look inside the life of one of rock music’s most mysterious figures.”

1st stop, Page Springs Cellars…Cornville, AZ

Nice tasting room…

Even nicer ground and vineyard…

Picked up a bottle…

The basis of wine, good grapes…

2nd stop: AZ Stronghold in Cottonwood, AZ…
Main St. in Cottonwood, AZ…

Took part in a flight of wines…

Like the sign…

Nice large art piece defaced by the 2 fellas showing their disdain for the freeway they transport grapes on…

We ended up enjoying and buying a bottle from Burning Tree Cellars called The Lotus, The guy behind Burning Tree Cellars works at AZ Stronghold and they offered him to make his own wine while working so this is his first grape stomp, solid wine!

3rd and Last stop Caduceus Cellars in Jerome, AZ

Really nice build out and design…

PJ and Snake Eyes liked it…

Here’s the 3 bottles that we purchased, at the 3 stops..

And the back of the Caduceus 2007 Nagual De La Naga bottle we purchased…

The Jerome Fire Dept.

Jerome has a lot of history and is a sleepy desert ghost town, very cool…
Interesting stories all over this town…

The view from Jerome, AZ

Caught some burgers at The Haunted Hamburger…

Ended the meal with a margarita in a mason jar…

Growing into each other…

Time to go home… Obligatory AZ sunset to the end the day and this blog…

NOAH FINE ART
I’ve seen and you’ve probably seen NOAH’s work around ranging from paintings hanging at Hart & Huntington in Las Vegas, the bottom of Rob Dyrdek’s pool on Rob & Big or even the pink S2000 in 2Fast 2Furious and/or his collaborations with Arturo Fuente Cigars or if that’s not enough his collaborations with Disney, yep the one and only big D…

I’ve known of Noah for some time and as of recent I’ve grown a respect and understanding not only of his gift as an artist but that he’s also a vehicle to promote his faith, his story and to propel yourself to do more.
We have many mutual friends ranging from artists, people of interest, business acquaintances and so on but knowing that we share the common bond of our faith it’s nice to know that Noah is using his gift for good not just selfish wants and NEEDS…

If you can take some time and get to know NOAH and his work and his story, he’s a gifted artist that has taken what he’s been given and built upon that for his family, himself and his God…
RESPECT of the utmost!

Take a look at NOAH FINE ART BLOG and get to see his work and his life…
There’s a real solid video about him HERE American Artist NOAH BIO The video was filmed and one by my homie Willie T of Good Times Media, he gets down he’s done a video videos I know youve seen…

American Artist ™ Noah Video Biography from Noah Fine Art on Vimeo.

Here’s a project he’s been working on with Disney and is ongoing… Plus some picstures of past Disney projects…

Horiyoshi III or Horiyoshi The third as he’s known honors the past and lives in the now, you look at his work and how he works and it’s just awe inspiring, at some point in my life I’d like to receive a tattoo from Horiyoshi III… I’ve known about him for years and now the Hypebeasts are up on it… oh well

Here’s a couple images and also a video from Nowness that interviews and captures the words and actions from this legend…
Also for more info on him pick up the book by another legendary tattooer Juan Puente Horiyoshi III

His detail, colors and then the free hand with the machine is just a thing of beauty…

I Headed out to Wisconsin for the 2nd year in a row with Vaughn Gittin Jr. and what we have deemed the Vaughn Gittin Jr. “Smoke Show”…
The event was at Road America in Lake Elkhart, WI for the Kohler International Challenge presented by Ford, super rad event if you’re a petrol head, Trans Am racers, club racers and collectively a ton of the very rare Can Am race cars…

Come experience the event all over again with me…

Started of course at Phoenix Sky Harbor and tagged up the Roadhouse with a couple of the limited edition NOS Energy Drink & Keep Drifting Fun stickers, these are Seattle and New Jersey, if you’re coming to FORMULA DRIFT Vegas come see me, say “SEND IT” and I’ll grace you with the Vegas Edition sticker, BOOM!

First class upgrade! Stoked, sorry for blurry pic, but rare actual plates mind you a meal in flight!

Late Milwaukee ghost town airport…

Casual Friday so why not start off the day with a beer and food at local Sheboygan brewery and hop spot, Hop’s Haven….

When you get lost in the sticks of WI, ya never know what you’re gonna find!
TEAM PIG WRESTLING? I prefer solo one-on-one, that’s a real fair match!

Friday evening is the cruise from the Road America track into Elkhart Lake the town and the original road race track where the streets are lined with petrol heads & lead foots!

Andy Laputka and I first stop, some New Glarus Spotted Cow brews for $3, not bad!

This Datsun was sponsored by my wife’s alma mater Northwood University, rad!

Here’s some of the solid cars that cruised the street and then filled the streets for fans to check out!

Ol Jag is sick!

Love this pic! It’s just full of “wish you were here”

Road America is 4.0something miles long and used to be THE Longest race track in the U.S. until Miller in Utah was built, I love the landscape, the green and the spirit of this event….

This STOCK Ford Mustang color is rad, it changes in direct light, sunsets and so on…

Post event Saturday, paddock chilling with the “Smoke Show” crew…

Rain again but it dried quickly…

SPEEDVILLE!

Porsche Can Am car, this thing is SUPER RARE & was the pinnacle and testament to HOW GNARLY CAN AM got, Porsche 917 super light + gang of horsepower= insanity back in the 70’s…

The Mustang RTR framed…

Team dinner, Thai food debauchery, too good, too much food! Haha
