Our next winery stop on the recent trip to the Temecula Valley in Southern California was Lorimar Vineyards and Winery, a beautiful property on Anza Road, just off Rancho California Road. It’s in the heart of the winery area. When you walk up to the winery entrance you find a Tuscan style building with manicured Continue reading Some Excellent Reds at Lorimar Vineyards and Winery in the Temecula Valley https://www.redwineplease.com/another-great-counterpoint-cabernet-from-laurel-glen/ 
Laurel Glen was one of our favorite wineries when we toured the Sonoma and Napa Valleys two years ago (read about that here). My, how time does fly. We walked the mountain vineyards with the winemaker, Randall Watkins, and tasted through the wines. They were all excellent, but the value that really jumped out was Continue reading Another Great Counterpoint Cabernet from Laurel Glen https://www.redwineplease.com/another-fabulous-vertical-tasting-of-baily-cabernet-sauvignon-with-phil-baily/ 
When I visited the Temecula Valley a few years ago, the highlight of the trip was a vertical tasting of Baily Cabernet Sauvignon. In their small, estate tasting room on Pauba Road they offer these verticals, which are a chance to get a fascinating look at a single wine varietal, or blend if they’re pouring Continue reading Another Fabulous Vertical Tasting of Baily Cabernet Sauvignon – with Phil Baily! https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-gershon-bachus-vintners-in-the-temecula-desert/ 
One of our recent winery stops while in the Temecula Valley was Gershon Bachus Vintners. We started the day at Leoness Cellars, which you can read about here. If you leave Leoness and turn left, don’t take your eyes off the left side of the road because you’re going to get to Gershon Bachus in Continue reading Visit to Gershon Bachus Vintners in the Temecula Desert https://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-leoness-cellars-in-the-temecula-valley/ 
On our recent trip to the Temecula Valley (you can read a summary of the trip here), our fist winery stop was Leoness Cellars on De Portola Road. It is an area with many wineries on both sides of the road, but this one had been recommended by someone at the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association, Continue reading Visit to Leoness Cellars in the Temecula Valley https://www.redwineplease.com/another-superb-prosecco-from-fiol/ 
A few weeks ago we told you about a delicious Rosé Prosecco from FIOL. It was truly outstanding and you can read about it here. For this review we’ll talk about a sister wine, the white Prosecco. The wine: FIOL Extra Dry Prosecco DOC Our Thoughts: the wine is a light straw in color with Continue reading Another Superb Prosecco from FIOL https://www.redwineplease.com/two-days-in-temecula/ 
Cheri and I recently spent some time in San Diego on vacation, and part of that was a two day stop in the Temecula Valley. If you’re a wine lover and you find yourself in the San Diego area, you really should take the hour and twenty minute drive to a serious wine making region Continue reading Two Days in Temecula https://www.redwineplease.com/outstanding-napa-valley-cabernet-sauvignon-from-quilt/ 
Quilt’s Oak Knoll Vineyard The Quilt label is part of the Copper Kane wine family, that was started by Joe Wagner after he sold his Meiomi label about ten years ago. We’ve recently reviewed several wines from the group, including an unexpected Chardonnay and Rosé (which you can read about here) and some Continue reading Outstanding Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Quilt https://www.redwineplease.com/wonderful-rich-and-complex-pinot-noir-from-belle-glos/ 
We recently reviewed two wines from Joe Wagner and his Copper Cane family of wines. They were the Boen Coastal Chardonnay and the Belle Glos Oeil de Perdrix Rosé. Both were revelations, as they elevated two of our least favorite wine types into something we loved, and subsequently bought. You can read about those here. Continue reading Wonderful, Rich and Complex Pinot Noir from Belle Glos https://www.redwineplease.com/superb-whites-from-the-copper-cane-family-of-wines/ 
You’ve no doubt heard of Meiomi, the ubiquitous label which created and marketed a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that was, and is, available everywhere. That label was the brainchild of Joseph Wagner, son of Chuck Wagner. The Wagner Family of Wines is also ubiquitous and has grown tremendously. Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the Continue reading Superb Rose and Chardonnay from the Copper Cane Family of Wines |
