Temecula Wine

• November 2009

  Definitely head to Santa Barbara, and try some winebars and eating in the town ... then also head south to Temecula. Some good wine there, as well. Though I'd personally try to grasp Santa Barbara first, Temecula can also be combined with some San Diego beaches and partying... ;-)...

Though I'd personally try to grasp Santa Barbara first, Temecula can also be combined with some San Diego beaches and partying... ;-) And when your budget allows it, try some Ridge zinfandels. They pretty much set the standard. Also single-vineyard Ravenswood zins. Their regional bottlings at the lower end of the price range are easily approachable, but their single-vineyard zins can be special. For some bigger zins (at bigger prices, too), try the Turleys from Paso Robles or the Jonatas from Santa Ynez. Lots of others out there, so keep tasting and don't get discouraged by one or two bottles of some zin you might not like...    (hide)

  Hi everyone. Just signed up on Snooth.com. I live in the Temecula,CA wine country. I'm a long time fan of wine who finally decided to take it seriously and learn more about it. So, you could say I'm one rank above a newbie. I have a basic knowledge but have a lot of learning to do.... Read moreHi everyone. Just signed up on Snooth.com. I live in the Temecula,CA wine country. I'm a long time fan of wine who finally decided to take it seriously and learn more about it. So, you could say I'm one rank above a newbie. I have a basic knowledge but have a lot of learning to do. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you. Thanks in advance. My wife and I planted a couple of acres of Cinsaut vines two years ago. Our first harvest was last month. 1.75 tons. We're blending it with Syrah and Cab. I'll keep you all posted on the progress. Any local people are invited to the tasting party around 2011. My question. My wife and I are going to the annual barrel tasting at some of the local wineries in a couple of weeks. How should I expect the tastes and aromas to be compared to finished wines? How will I know which wines to take note of for purchase later? Thanks in advance. Kirk    (hide)

  Falkner Winery Amante - Super Tuscan 2005

  Snoothrank:

  Enjoy the robust aroma and the elegant strawberry, dried cherry, and blackberry flavors. This complex, medium-bodied wine pairs well with pasta, veal, duck, and beef dishes

  Hey there, DMcK. If you do go to paso robles, I don't think you'll need too ... I have, however, been to Temecula, which is quite near me.

If you do go to paso robles, I don't think you'll need too ... I have, however, been to Temecula, which is quite near me. It is up and coming as a tourist destination, and I had a great time there. But that was before I knew anything about wine. Really. Like, nothing. So I had a lot of fun, but couldn't tell you much about the quality of the wines. There was a kick-ass bbq place in town, though..... Ok, I'm going to try to upload some photos.....    (hide)

  A long time ago I had a beautiful white wine from Temecula, CA. I was told that it was only available in the Spring season. I don't remember the name however, it was born in Temecula, Ca. Might anyone have any ideas of how I might find this loved wine once again? Thanks - Mick Vee
