Summer is Almost Over

Yikes what a long hot summer it's been in Arizona! Judging from the depth of this years summer slowdown, it looks like a lot of you were able to skip town and head to cooler climes. Me too! For the first time in a few years I was able to escape for a week and enjoy the California wine country and coast. Alas it's back to reality now! As you all wind up your summer as well, I invite you to come on in and try out the new things we are offering this Summer at Ruffino. Details are listed below!
