Saturday my wife and I had the opportunity to head out to the vineyards with our friends Tom and Laura of WINEormous. We started out at Maurice Car’rie and had a late lunch at Wilson Creek, then finished out at Cougar Winery and Vineyard. This was the first time I have had the opportunity to [...]

Well, well, well my friends. It’s been a prodigious four days of mystery and suspense, but the game has played itself out. A mere three wineries out of thirty-four went above and beyond the call-of-duty and not only decorated their wineries, but their vineyards as well.

Normally my wife opens a bottle once the kids are settled and their homework is done. Yesterday I decided to take the lead. I was just getting ready to pour for her and to my shock and horror she said no thanks, so this tasting is a one man show. I chose one of our [...]
I think the picture of Cab (short for Cabernet), one of the Golden Retrievers at Wilson Creek Winery speaks for all of us last Sunday. It was a fantastic as usual day in Temecula. My wife and I decided to pick-up some of our wine club memberships at the local haunts. We started at Maurice [...]

I’m a 41 year old, happily in love with my wife, kinda guy. When we go out on a date (16 years and I still call it a date) the last thing we want to do is go somewhere that is a meat market. We enjoy talking with our friends, having libations, and listening to [...]
