Visitors

I have had so much fun with all of the visitors that we have had out here! Most recently, for Thanksgiving, Drew's Mom,  Dad, Sister and Brother-in-law came out to visit! Unfortunately, I was sick/had to work for most of their visit BUT I was able to spend a wonderful fun-filled day with them going on what I like to call a "Winery Crawl". Post college, we have upgraded from pub crawls to winery crawls Cali style. We started out near Drew's work in Rancho Bernardo.

That was an interesting winery, it had a very old-fashioned.artsy.rustic feeling? It reminded me of the old days going to craft shows with mom.

After that, we went on a little jaunt to Temecula. Temecula is like the Water Street of Wineries. It was absolutely gorgeous there with literally one winery after another for what seemed like miles.

Here we went to three different wineries:
1. Thornton Winery
2. Stuart Cellars
3. Vindemia Vineyard

All were unique and lots of fun! As I am only a white wine drinker, it definitely narrowed down my samples a bit but I LOVED nearly everything that I tried.

My top recommendations:
Stuart Cellars: White Port (Drew got us a bottle but said we have to save it for a special occasion/that it will be delicious with Cookie Dough Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory)
Thornton : 2009 Moscato

Sweet Sippers Flight

Champagne Flight

Guess we are becoming "winos" living out here :)
