Sunrider Jeep Tours offers a unique way to visit the Temecula Wine Country - in an open air Jeep! We jumped at the chance to ride along for the day with a group of first time Wine Country guests. The day started off at the Starbucks in Old Town Temecula, which is a completely normal place to set out for an adventure in Temecula. We headed out of Old Town … [Read more...]
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 with sweet desserts. You will want to match the flavors and aromas in both … [Read more...]
Things were heating up at Keyways Winery and it wasn’t just the weather. Friday night Escape was rocking and they proved to all that they were not just another tribute band. Some whispered that they sounded more like Journey than the present day band. In spite of electrical issues that continued to cause audio problems, they showed the ultimate of … [Read more...]
For those who are unfamiliar with me my name is Mambo, and I’m a Blue and Gold Macaw that resides at The Roving Wino’s house. I’m considered to be somewhat of a party animal, so watch your drinks as I have a tendency to help myself. Being a tropical bird I prefer drinks that are citrusy and refreshing, but my all-time favorite drink is the Mojito. … [Read more...]
A while back I featured some great warm weather white wines from Europa Village, the Temecula Valley’s newest boutique winery. There were just too many wines worthy of recognition in their line for me to cover in one post, so today we are revisiting them to talk about their reds. We will be talking about three wines today. As I mentioned in my previous … [Read more...]
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 friend, Jacque, who pours there. We have both been in and around … [Read more...]
I confess that when it rains like this we do not spend a ton of time wandering the booths at the Old Town Temecula Farmer’s Market. We don’t need it to we warm and sunny . . . cool, crisp and clear works nicely as well, haha. Even this crazy amount of rain cannot deter us from dashing in to pick up our CSA box of fresh, organic, locally grown produce … [Read more...]
It seems that every year around this time the craziness of life ramps up to a whole new level. Our barely manageable “to-do” lists become downright overwhelmed with added tasks of decorating the house inside and out, mailing holiday greetings to everyone (hopefully we thought of everyone - yikes!) and buying presents for loved ones near and far. The … [Read more...]
One of the best things about the Temecula Valley is that we know how to support a good cause: by throwing a party! Bear Creek’s first Taste of the Town event was the inspiration of organizers Charlotte DeHasa and Nicole Gilmore and they did a great job of coordinating with some of the best restaurants and wineries in the area to put on a benefit for the … [Read more...]
This was at a benefit concert with a Depeche Mode tribute band (Songs A La Mode) at Keyways Winery in Temecula on June 19th, 2010. Marilyn dances like a monkey on fire while some of the rest of the the Taste of Temecula staff look on in amusement! … [Read more...]
