The Wino Club: Temecula Wines

Temecula wines compete with each other and some great quality was found. What I'm most excited about is the Grenache Rose, which Peter Poole of Vitis Consulting explained as a truly new experiment for this valley.  This Barbie pink wine was surprisingly not sticky sweet, but well balanced, dry and crisp with beautiful color and fruit.  So good in fact, it tied for first at our own Wino Club meeting!

Winners of the fourth annual Temecula Valley Wine Society Competition have been announced.

South Coast Winery’s 2007 Semillion and 2007 White Proprietary Blend “GVR” tied for Best of Class (Whites). Additionally, its Non Vintage Sparkling Syrah “Ruby Cuvee” and 2007 Genache Rose were awarded Best of Class in their respective categories.

Stuart Cellars Winery’s 2005 Meritage “Long Valley Red – Unfiltered Estate Bottled” and Thornton Winery’s 2005 Proprietary Red Blend “Cabernet/Merlot” tied for Best of Class (Reds).

The big winner, voted Best Wine overall, was Mount Palomar’s Non Vintage Solera Cream Sherry.

My friends and I were just talking about Temecula wines (three of them are from Temecula, and they never stop raving about the vineyards). We all chipped in and bought some Riedel glassware to prepare ourselves for some great summertime wines!

The wines from Temecula are very nice indeed. I used to be a local wine captain.parental control software | parental control for windows xp | parental control for windows 7
