Temecula's Favorite Online Social Magazine
Recently Doffo Winery invited me to come try their new vintages. I have always been impressed by Doffo’s wines, and I’d say they are one of the Valley’s best, most quality minded producers. For that reason I’ve talked about their Syrah, Malbec, Zinfandel, and Port style dessert wine before on my site, WhatsWorthDrinking.com. Today we’re [...]
As a tropical bird, I am “wild” about sweets and sometimes I just have to be more exotic than traditional and pair up my dessert with an equally decadent wine. As a general rule you want to pair your dessert with a wine that is sweeter. Sparkling wine or liqueurs are also a good match [...]
Today’s pick was inspired by an article I wrote for my site, WhatsWorthDrinking.com. In that post I reviewed a Sangiovese by what has become one of my favorite wineries in the Temecula area. Las Piedras is the private label of Steve Hagata, the winemaker at the Temecula Valley’s own Falkner Winery. Clinging to the slopes [...]
A while back, I wrote an article on Hart Family Winery and their reds wines. In that post I mentioned that while I was at the Hart Winery I also tasted some white and rosé wines from the vats that were yet to be bottled. Well the wait is over and Hart’s Sauvignon Blanc, Roussanne, [...]

Middle Ridge Winery is one of these must-read pages because owners Chris and Melody Johnston always have something fun going on. So when they posted their Tapas With Chris & Wine [...]
On a warm summer day, many people’s thoughts turn to Rosé. One of the best places for thoughts to run anywhere is Keyways Vineyard and Winery. Set in on a gentle hill on the De Portola Wine Trail, Keyways has beautiful views and a lovely setting. I was there this week to visit my longtime [...]
Tonight was the night to tingle the tongue with Frizzante style wines and wonderful after-dinner wines. As Ken Mapes says, these are fortified “grappa style on steroids!” A perfect way to end the day satisfying the sweet tooth in all of us. Our hosts, Don and Michelle Campini–owners of Wine on a Dime here in [...]
I choose to go with a varietal that grows exceptionally well in the Valley, from one of the busiest local wineries going.
Take 6 wineaux women Add a delightful array of hors-d’oeuvres Stir in six lovely bottles of French wine from Bordeaux Sprinkle in generous portions of laughter and fun Gently fold all ingredients together Viola! You have a recipe for a beautiful thing. After a bit of whining, I was graciously invited to attend Linda Kissam’s [...]
