Off We Go For A Short Visit
Flower was asleep when we got up... She is resting so she can watch the house while we are gone
Arrival
Did You Know? - The Temecula Valley AVA is an American Viticultural Area in southern Riverside County, California, part of the Inland Empire, one of the fastest growing areas in the country. Being within 1-1/2 hours of over 15 million people puts tremendous pressure on the land for residential development, as the adjacent cities of Temecula and Murrieta have become bedroom towns for commuters to San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego.
Over 200 years ago, winemaking made its debut in California at Mission San Juan Capistrano. The first winemakers were the mission padres. The tradition of winemaking still exists only 18 miles (29 km) east in Temecula, where mission vineyards were established in 1820.
