Last week, Jon and I had the pleasure of attending an exclusive Wine Tasting event held by Rebel Vinum (based in Phoenix) at The Playground in downtown Tucson.

The really cool thing is that Kevin, who runs the show, was up in Portland and stopped in at Rebel Jeweler http://www.rebeljeweler.com/ because of the name. Well, they (Rebel Jeweler) happens to be one of our favorite stores that carry WATTO. Kevin was excited to see a company from Arizona with stuff up in Portland. He purchased some of our items. Then, in a great gesture, the Rebel team decided they wanted to meet the artist who created the cool metal keychains they all received for Christmas from Kevin, so they invited us to their wine tasting.

Their wine is top of the line from only the best vinyards and Jon and I had the pleasure of tasting a $400 bottle of wine- probably the first and last time that will ever happen.

The playground is super cool too and had just opened several days previously. Please enjoy the photos from the cool event. Oh and another cool thing, they told us we could display some of our promotional material to pitch ourselves. Is that not the coolest! ?!

We also met Wine teacher Jon Rogers who teaches beginners to advanced wine connoisseurs in his workshops called Wines Without the Mystery. Interested? contact JonLRogers@aol.com or call at 520-325-0566
