Tesoro Winery – Tuscan Treasure in Temecula
Someone once said that God draws straight with crooked lines. You could say this is something of a theme in Tesoro Winery’s history. Carl “Buzz” & Kimberly Olson clearly have the faith it takes to trust that life is a journey that sometimes meanders a bit off of the original path. The Olson’s have long

Made in Temecula – Stuffed Bell Peppers
Another warm Temecula Saturday is upon us and we are off to the Old Town Temecula Farmer’s Market to pick up our Inland Empire CSA box. Our first stop is the Sage Mountain Farms booth to check out the amazing selection of locally grown, organic produce. We love this program because we love to eat

Made In Temecula – Fried Green Tomatoes
One of our favorite things about living in the Temecula Valley is that while it has recently experienced a huge influx of upscale shops and dining (which we love), the soul of Temecula will always be the earth. We grow things here: grapes, olives, avocados and a huge variety of fruits and vegetables. With that

Grow Organic at Home
They say that late Spring is the perfect time to plant a garden. It’s all so overwhelming, though; isn’t it? How much space do I need? How will I irrigate it?

Springtime weather in the middle of January makes us thankful to be alive and living in the Temecula Valley. We are even further blessed to have ready access to the amazing Old Town Temecula Farmer’s Market and the Sage Mountain Farm booth where we collect the Inland Empire CSA box each week. We had the

Field to the Fork – Dig In!
One of my favorite things about hanging out with Slow Food Temecula Valley folks like chapter president, Leah Di Bernardo, and Leonesse Cellars owner, Mike Rennie, is that they talk about farmers, chefs, winemakers, brewmasters and other local artisans like they are rock stars. They name drop like groupies because they know that the people

Rancho Damacitas Puts Kids First
The numbers are tough to hear and even more difficult to fathom: each year in Riverside County, hundreds of cases of child abuse are reported, a number which escalates in difficult economic times and around the holidays. The children that are removed from these unsafe and unbearable conditions are in need of significant emotional healing

Harvest 2U Delivers
“He that does good to others does good to himself.” – Lucius Seneca Nutrition experts have long argued that fresh, locally grown, organic produce is by far the best choice for healthy eating. On the other hand, it can seem overwhelming to eliminate the so-called “convenience foods” that are marketed to us at every turn.

Wonderful World of Wine – by Corie Maue & Ginger Baker-Giordano
This year, March 5th & 6th emerged warm and breezy like every good wine country weekend should.
