NIK FIELDS AT CHIC CHEF 77 BISTRO & WINE BAR

Wine & Dine

You don’t need to be a chic wine snob to step into Chic Chef 77 Bistro & Wine Bar, but you’ll certainly consider yourself one by the time you walk out. Featuring a menu complete with wine pairings to enhance dining experiences by heightening flavors and texture, this bistro and wine bar offers special events highlighting Black-owned wine makers, as well as paint and sip parties, all presented in an upscale environment.

Nik Fields, a celebrity chef, entrepreneur, and restaurateur, launched the locale with the aim of promoting education and discovery among wine-lovers old and new. She helps sippers pair wine and foods based on chemical compounds and the overall impact on the five senses.

There is a 200 bottle wine list, a rotating selection of wines by the glass, food, live music, and more.

ZANJERO JUICY HAZY IPA AT PHX BEER CO.

Local favorite PHX Beer Co. is a brewery created to bring Phoenix to its customers and ignite the craft beer scene. The popular locale recently released its newest IPA—Zanjero Juicy Hazy IPA—and it pays homage to those in charge of Arizona’s water distribution.

Since the late 1800s, the Zanjeros would travel near and far, opening local canals to ensure water flows out of faucets and was available for local crops.

Without these “Ditch Riders,” not only would local residents not have water, but they wouldn’t have beer.

For this reason, PHX Beer Co. gives thanks to the Zanjeros with this IPA created in their honor. Zanjero Juicy Hazy IPA features “citrus, fruit-forward hops so aromatic, that no gate can hold it back.”

Brewery and tap room: 3002 E. Washington St., Phoenix. Restaurant: 8300 N. Hayden Road, Scottsdale. www.phxbeerco.com

Game Time!

Why play regular MONOPOLY when you can play the new Scottsdale edition? This recently released edition replaces the perennial board game’s famous Atlantic City squares, from Boardwalk to Park Place, with representations of muchloved Scottsdale references, alongside a customized Community Chest and Chance playing cards to ensure each detail of the game pays homage to the “The West’s Most Western Town.”

The full game includes sites that showcase Scottsdale’s natural beauty and geography, including the McDowell Sonoran Preserve and Tom’s Thumb Trailhead, cultural destinations such as the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and Scottsdale Stadium, historical landmarks like the Bob Parks Bronze Horse Fountain, local businesses and attractions including OdySea Aquarium and The Phoenician, and a variety of nonprofits.

MONOPOLY: Scottsdale Edition is available at Barnes & Noble Scottsdale, Kactus Jock, Scottsdale Southwest, Southwestern Reflections, The Poisoned Pen, and online at retail partners, including Amazon.

THE WILD SIDE GALLERY AT THE PHOENIX ZOO

Go Wild

Lions, elephants, monkeys … and art. Yes, that’s right. The Phoenix Zoo— home to more than 3,000 animals—along with the Arizona Center for Nature Conservation, recently debuted the art gallery Wild Side Gallery. The zoo’s 1970s Activity Center, a classic building originally designed by famed Valley architect William Cartmell, was renovated into this new venue.

Artwork will be showcased over 2,400 square feet, and the space will serve as the zoo’s first dedicated venue for its rotating exhibits of Art on the Wild Side, a program focused on inspiration, celebration, and conservation through art.

The gallery opened in last month and is currently showcasing the renowned National Geographic exhibit, “Between River and Rim: Hiking Across the Grand Canyon.”

Entry to the gallery is included with general daytime admission to the zoo.
