Jerome Winery
Visit our Fine Wine & Design info page!
From the Phoenix 2008 Arizona Travel Guide, author Ashlea Deahl writes: “Savor a Sip and a Story at Jerome Winery. Forget everything you’ve read and heard about Jerome. If you want a good story, paired with a good glass of local wine, head to Jerome Winery, located within walking distance of Jerome’s main strip. Our vintner’s philosophy is very spartenistic; create wines that are enjoyable for the novice and the connoisseur alike. Unlike most winemakers, our vintner learned the art of wine making by training as an apprentice under master winemakers throughout the United States and Europe.
Starting with a sassy white Zinfandel we transcend through the lighter wines such as the Pinot Grigio and Mourvedre, progressing to the more robust red Zinfandel and Syrah, finishing with the smooth Muscat and Champagne. For masterful enjoyment we reserve library wines including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Syrah, 15 year old Port, and others soon to be added.
Owner John McLoughlin may pour you a glass of robust Syrah (one of his best sellers) or tangy Zin, and regale you with tales about Jerome’s sordid past – ask him the one about the priest who had a shoe fetish. He’s full of stories, and his winery is full of surprises.
McLoughlin offers more than 30 distinct wines, from Chardonnays to Cabs, as well as the requisite accessories, gifts and snacks to go along with them. Best of all, he works the vines, which are located in Southern Arizona, himself, (he has the farmer’s tan to prove it), and he makes the trip to Jerome just about every weekend to personally sell his product – and perhaps sell you on a story or two”.
La Patrona, (John’s mom) and his sister Melanie can be found behind the copper counter pouring and telling stories of their own. Jerome has no shortage of interesting tales as well as interesting characters. The wines this year feature labels of old family photos and most of the labels come with a story.

Secret Recipe Granola

Jim Matykiewicz The Inn On Oak Creek | Owner |
Ingredients:
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
¾ cup raw pumpkin seeds
¾ cup raw unsalted sunflower seeds
1 cup coarsely chopped unblanched almonds
½ cup wheat germ
½ cup powered nonfat dry milk
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¾ cup Safflower oil
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup honey or malt syrup (available in health food stores)
½ cup dried apricots, finely chopped
½ cup dried figs, finely chopped
½ cup golden raisins
½ cup black raisins
½ cup banana chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together the oats, seeds, almonds, wheat germ,
dry milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and vanilla. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the oil, maple syrup and honey. Pour over the oat mixture and toss with your hands or a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are moistened. Spread on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring once. The edges tend to turn brown first, so stir carefully.
When lightly browned, remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Loosen from the pan in chunks and add the dried fruits. Seal in airtight container.
