Masia de Yabar has a stunning location for a winery on the De Portola wine trail. Wilmer and Silvia Yabar came from Peru with ancestry in Spain and have wine-making in their blood. In 2004 they planted vineyards in Argentina...
There are only so many hours in the day and there is only so much wine one can drink. Well at least when you are driving. So our visit to Lorimar’s new winery and tasting room did not include a...
I love to research wine country. Before a trip my planning stages can take more time than the trip itself. I’m a bit obsessive about this. Now don’t think that I’m also a control freak. I tend to also build...
The Cougar Property is in the midst of lots of change with construction surrounding the winery, but they are still open and happy to take care of guests in the tasting room. The winery is owned and operated by Rick...

That’s the Ponte motto, and in my opinion many of their wines ARE good. Ponte has grown to be a really large winery! Sitting next door to South Coast and flanked on the other side by Wiens they are in...
Michael and I have been to Temecula several times. Always on my list were some downtown tasting rooms, but somehow, as with all our wine country trips, we don’t make it. We get wrapped up in the vineyards and never...
