Travel to Arizona for the Barrett Jackson Car Show By: Chad Sullivan
Copyright (c) 2008 Chad Sullivan
Every Car enthusiast will travel to Arizona for the Barrett Jackson Car show every year or at least one in his or her lifetime. Collectors and enthusiasts come in droves to Scottsdale, Arizona to witness an auction of the finest collection of cars in the world.
It all began when Thomas Barrett and Russ Jackson decided to hold a sale to reduce the size of their individual car collections. The first sale proceeds went to various Scottsdale charities and public institutions including the Scottsdale library. The auction is held every year between the 12th and 20th of January. Tickets start cheap and get more expensive as the auction advances. The auctions start during the day and go on to about 10 p.m. at night. Senior citizens, students and army personnel can get discounts.
It is still conducted by the Barrett Jackson Auction Company and has become a world famous collector car event. Whether you just want to watch the cars or are keen on buying one of the beautiful machines, the Barrett Jackson Car Show is the place to be. The auction caters to classic and collector car owners and buyers. There is also a no reserve auction of car memorabilia. Seeing high profile collector cars roll across the block in West World Scottsdale is a visual delight for the car lover.
This year, more than a 1000 of the world's best collector cars were auctioned and attracted the attendance of over 200,000 car lovers and collectors. Since the auction spans over eight days the best way to take all of the action in is to stay at a Scottsdale vacation rental. Vacation rental accommodation charge by the week and come with fully fitted kitchens, entertainment centers, swimming pools and multiple bedrooms for the whole family and if need be car loving friends. Most rentals are non smoking and the renter gets to choose the location, the view and the number of bedrooms. Villas, condos apartments and cozy cabins can be rented without the need to pay for extra bedrooms.
You can enjoy the car show at your pace without any tight hotel schedule to adhere to in a vacation rental. After a tiring yet enjoyable day of watching cars, you don't have to spend a sleepless night as in the case of a hotel with other enthusiasts trooping past your room at unearthly hours.
There are no extra fees for the morning newspaper, housekeeping, room service, parking and laundry. You are not disturbed by housekeeping, laundry or luggage carts going past. Most vacation homes have wifi connectivity so that you can be in touch with work while enjoying your favorite show. In the event of a flight coming in late you are not denied accommodation at a vacation rental The Barrett Jackson Car Show's popularity results in over booked hotels and uncertain hotel accommodation. A vacation rental on the other hand does not have strict time schedules.
If you book your vacation rental through a reputed agent you may be able to swing a package and get tickets and car rentals included with your rental booking. Traveling to Arizona for the Barrett Jackson car show and staying at a vacation rental will help a car aficionado speed his or her enthusiasm and accelerate his or her enjoyment.

Arizona is Known for Its Wineries By Cecilia Valenzuela
It's a fact. Most people do not think of wineries in Arizona. Most people think of the Grand Canyon, the beautiful Sonoran desert and maybe more desert. Wine making does not likely enter the mind of most people when they think of the desert southwest.
Those who truly know and understand Arizona know that that wineries in Arizona really are very much a part of the desert southwest. There are many vineyards and wineries throughout the state of Arizona so don't be too concerned about being too far away from the nearest location if you would like to access one of these vineyards.
Most vineyard sites in Arizona are located in the southeast corner of the state, but you will be able to find vineyards literally throughout the state with no problem whatsoever.
If you have the chance to visit the world famous Sedona area, you will also discover many vineyards to suit your wine-tasting taste buds throughout the beautiful red rock area that surrounds the area with more than astonishing areas. There you will also find tours and scheduled taste testings several times throughout the week for your convenience. Conveniently located, some of these Arizona vineyards are situated a short 10 minutes away from the sourrounding Sedona valley itself.
If you are fortunate enough to take a trip to the Southern Trail of Arizona wine country, you will want to make sure you visit the local vineyards that have put Arizona on the wine making map list.
Some of the wines that are produced in this area have been honored nationally and internationally, even by the usually less than impressed French media. The southeast Trail is also the home to the "Island in the Sky," which is a wonderfully unique and spiritual area. If you travel there, you will be able to discover the famous red rock formations that provide you with breathtaking views that will blow you away.
According to the Arizona Wine Grower's Association, the climate and soil studies have shown that the desert in the state resembles the region that is similar to Ribera Del Duero, Southeastern Australia, Spain, and also Southern France. The Arizona Grower's Association also views the Arizona region as a replication of the area located in Paso Robles, California.
Some of the most notable wines can be found in Arizona and include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Grenache, Merlot, Mourvedre/Mataro, Riesling, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah/Shiraz, and Zinfandel.
While there may be more wineries in California as well as other parts of the world, there are some very nice benefits that you will discover while exploring wineries in Arizona. The grapes are grown on mineral rich organic soil which is the perfect recipe for producing some of the most award winning wines.
One of the first things you will probably appreciate right away is the fact that you will not have to deal with the infamous crowds as with other wineries that you may have visited.
A good piece of advice is to remember that you should call ahead at least several days in advance instead of just showing up. Many of these wineries in AZ operate by appointment only during the week, so call ahead to be sure your visit is confirmed.
Arizona's wine country is the choice of many wine lovers because it is closer to home and less expensive than other vineyards.
In the past, Arizona grapes were actually sold to wine makers who lived out of state. However, that has changed and the state could not be happier to be a part of wine making!
Although you will find locations that take part in wine making, Arizona's primary wine country is considered to be about a three-hour drive that is located south of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The area is reportedly ideal for wine making and consists of desert grasslands surrounded by approximately 5,000 feet in elevation. Many appreciate the cooler weather, too. It is considerably cooler, boasting summer temperatures that are approximately 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Tucson. The nights offer wine makers the cooler nights that are the ripe element needed for these great tasting wines.
