ToT Goes Gourmet at Latest Lunch Meet-Up
Gourmet Italia hosted our latest lunch meet-up and it was molto buono. Over 50 people were warmly greeted by restaurant owner, Alex Prestifilippo, overlooking the fact that he was brandishing a large carving knife.

WINEormous – Intimate Wine Country Tours
I have lived in the Temecula Valley for over 10 years and have visited many tasting rooms in that time. I have sampled some great wine, chatted with the pourers and even got to know a couple of them along the way. I have ridden in a limo with friends and been dropped at the

ToT’s Lunch Meet-Up @ Aki Sushi
Taste of Temecula’s bi-weekly Lunch Meet-Up kicked off the new year with a scrumptious and fun time at Aki Sushi in Murrieta this past Wednesday. We had a blast! Both ToT lunch veterans and newcomers alike – totaling almost 50 in number – packed Aki for a private party of sorts…so many attended, in fact,
La Cocina – ¡Muy Excelente!
Juan Elenes hails from Sinaloa, Mexico. He came to Temecula by way of Baldwin Park and joined La Cocina a few weeks after they opened their doors. He says it was like going from night to day. The way he looks at it, he doesn’t have any “customers.” He sure has a lot of friends, though.

Following the philosophy that great winemaking begins in the vineyard,
Wine Pick of the Week: Tesoro Viognier
A funny thing happened on Buzz & Kimberly Olson‘s way to opening a B & B – they wound up getting into the wine business! When they first purchased their property on Rancho California Road, the plan was to open a Bed & Breakfast. The permit process was lengthy and tedious. The economy headed south.

A Great Kick-off To A Long Weekend – Coquelicot Wine Tasting At Temecula Wine Company
written by Laura Plant I can’t think of a better idea than tasting wine rather than battling traffic on a holiday Friday evening. Temecula Valley Wine Company provided the perfect occasion by bringing in Christine Kruger from Coquelicot Estate Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. My first question was: what does Coquelicot mean and how
Denim & Diamonds Sparkles at KD Acres
Saturday May 15 the sun was shining and skies were blue as guests began arriving for the 8th Annual Denim & Diamonds fund-raiser for S.A.F.E. at KD Acres in Temecula. Host Dan Atwood escorted us from the parking area to the event in his golf cart, and we began perusing the many rows of silent auction items, featuring everything from wine to art to golf packages.
