For Immediate Release March 4, 2015 Contact: Mike Finney Phone: (480) 897-3331 Mike@azcomgroup.com   Cochise County Arizona – Legendary Travel Experiences   Cochise County, AZ – The southeast corner of Arizona, sprinkled with the small towns of Willcox, Bisbee, Tombstone, Douglas, Sierra Vista, and Benson has been home to legendary figures from American history. Wyatt Earp and the shootout at OK Corral lives on today in reenactments on the dusty streets of Tombstone. Legendary country music singer Rex Allen is enshrined in a museum on the main street of old town in Willcox. Cochise and his band of legendary Apache warriors roamed the region and would disappear like smoke into the canyons that slice into the Chiricahua Mountains.   Today there is legendary wine being made in Cochise County (over 70% of all the wine made in Arizona comes from this region). Vineyards like the Lawrence Dunham Vineyard are situated at the foot of the scenic Chiricahuas which bring cool breezes from the canyons and just the right amount of rainfall for world class grapes. Tasting rooms have opened along Main Street in Willcox, and in the historic downtown district of Bisbee where Chef Rod Kass offers a legendary dining experience and local wines at Café Roka. Winn Bundy   The Amerind Museum is an under-discovered jewel, an exquisite hacienda in the pristine desert landscape of the Dragoon Mountains just east...
