">At Stuart Cellars, The Future Waits In The Barrel
I tasted several wines during my visit and it’s clear to me Marshall hasn’t lost his touch. The 2010 Sauvignon Blanc was crisp and reminiscent of a New Zealand Sauv Blanc. The 2010 White Merlot surprised me because I didn’t expect to like it.

">Vinoteca – “We’re Victims of Our Passion”
On Wednesdays from 5:30 – 9:00, the winemaker pours Jeff’s three selections as well as a bonus pour of his choosing that might be a barrel sample, a reserve or library wine. Four 3 ounce pours will cost you $18. Add three tapas paired to the wines and the cost is $28. In my book that’s a hell of a bargain.

After years working in restaurants in the San Francisco Bay area, traveling up and down the coast of California, and calling the Temecula Valley home for over 10 years, I have developed quite an affection and palate for California wines. From Napa, to Paso Robles, to Temecula, I know what grows well in each region [...]
