Phoenix, Arizona, November 16, 2017 – Fox Restaurant Concepts, long recognized for the group’s commitment to innovation and its laser-focus on the guest experience, continues to expand its offerings. This year, the group launched its 11th proprietary Pinot Noir, Fox Block Eleven Panther Creek Cellars, a collaboration between the group’s sommelier and VP Beverage Director Regan Jasper and Panther Creek’s own Oregon winemaker Tony Rynders.

When the opportunity arose for Jasper to blend the group’s next proprietary Pinot with Panther Creek’s Tony Rynders, he jumped at the chance. “I love the style of the Willamette,” Jasper notes. “It’s fruit-forward and earthy. Working with Tony up in Dundee was a lot of fun; great Pinot Noir is coming out of there right now.”

Fox Block Eleven Panther Creek Cellars is available by the glass at 55 locations across twelve restaurant brands nationwide, including North Italia, Culinary Dropout, The Henry, Doughbird, True Food Kitchen, The Arrogant Butcher, Blanco Tacos & Tequila, Wildflower, Zinburger, Little Cleo’s, The Greene House, and Olive & Ivy.

“Our restaurants are the only place you can find this blend of Panther Creek wine,” says Jasper. “Creating one of a kind wines with acclaimed winemakers from different regions ensures we can continually offer our guests something special and totally personalized.”
