trip to california

[winoweenie]

Hi Joey. I haven't spent anytime in Temecula since the sharp-shooter invasion. IK was there 5 or so ago and can give you the current scoop. ( An easy drive from San Diego.) As far as SLO is concerned there are as many options as you've fingers and toes. Go to the Courtesy info office and they can point out the various rouites to see the maximum amount of wineries in the least amount of time on each trip. Napa's another matter. If you're driving in from San Fran you can spend some time exploring Carneros, IMHO, one of the hidden routes on the wine trail. Especially neat is Truchard who makes bunches of tremendous wines. Even along hiway 29 there are many outstanding wineries that welcome visitors and don't charge for sips. Bell,Newlan,Franus/Havens,Crichton Hall,Napa Cellars,Cakebread, Turnbull,Sequoia Grove,Sawyer,St. Supery,Peju, and you 'aint even to St. Helena yet. And if you stay away from the rich and famous, you can find some killer restaurants where the locals eat, and most locals are as busted as any student. Any-whos, post before you go, give an idea how long you'll grace them with your presence, and I'll give more definative answers. WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
