Spring 2023 update:
Edwards Vineyards (Ramona) -- Have you ever heard of glamping? It's short for glamorous camping, where you stay in fancy tents with showers and other amenities. Well, you can glamp at Edwards now.
Winter 2023 update:
South Coast Winery (Temecula) -- We dined with friends at their restaurant, The Vineyard Rose, and, well the food was not good -- it was great!!! Incredible!!!
Shadow Mountain (Warner Springs) -- still producing one of the best Nebbiolo's in Southern California. Understand that the winery has been sold, with the new owners soon to take over day-to-day operations.
Ponte (Temecula) -- latest Sangiovese and Super T offerings are quite good, their best to date. Finally seeing progress on their expansion of the Reserve Room (for wine club members).
Europa Village (Temecula) -- Italian section coming close to the finish line!!!
Vineyard Grant James (Ramona) -- They've introduced a very interesting varietal -- Carmenere, the lost wine of Bordeaux. Quite nice, but if you want to try it don't delay -- they may run out soon! Other single varietals wines are on the way -- major bottling operation coming in the spring.
Mermaid Valley (Ramona) -- Still can't get over the fact that I really like their GSM.... I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, as it won double gold at a recent tasting!
Monserate (Fallbrook) -- Winemaker has not released most of his single varietal Italian reds -- including Aglianico, Negroamaro, and Sagrantino -- but they expect to bottle them soon. If it is any indication of things to come, they have a blend (Fidele) of 64% Aglianico, 22% Sagrantino, and 14% Barbera that is really good. As with most good wines, they are running out -- right now you can only buy it if you are a wine club member.
