Wine-Tasting in Temecula Just as Expensive as Wine-Tasting in Napa

Where: 9700 N. Torrey Pines Road [map], La Jolla, CA, United States, 92037

Sorry Temecula Valley, try as we might, we aren’t blown away by most wine coming from your region. Maybe someday, but right now, we think a little more finesse is in order to play with California's big guns.

Nevertheless, we heart wine and want to stay in the loop of what’s new (without having to commit to buying a whole bottle without a little R&D) and find the best way to sip, swirl and swallow your way through any wine region is by spending some time in its tasting rooms. Timing-wise, we're on the heels of grape harvest and there's no better time to witness the action of what goes into picking and processing grapes to make the almighty elixir we call wine.

Personal preferences aside, Temecula Valley is a far more civilized experience than braving the always-packed tasting rooms of certain unnamed wine regions in Northern California. Just saying.
