July 2009 – After meeting up at about 9am Saturday morning, two separate caravans of women headed out in the direction of the Temecula Valley.
Advanced planning, headed up by Nicole,
yielded a booked tour on a trolley of four wineries in the Valley.
Stops included Bella Vista, Wilson Creek and Leonesse.
We braved the heat of the day and sampled upwards of 20 different wines.
Yes – that is champagne being poured into a chocolate shot glass!
A few rooms were booked at a local hotel, dinner at a wonderful little steakhouse was enjoyed, a local bar was visited and quickly walked out of, we slept, enjoyed a continental breakfast and headed home.
Along the way: our palates were refined, old friendships rekindled, new friendships forged and a great adventure was had by all!
