[winoweenie]

Hi LB and welcome back to Calif. I think the wine shop you're talking about is Wine Expo in Santa Monica run by no other than Raucus Roberto. Their wats line is 800 WINEEXPO. Two other wine shops you should visit are Vintage Wines in San Diego. Go down 5 to 805 turn on Miramar rd. and go about 5 miles east.Phone is 858-549-2112. The other great wine shop easily accessible is Hi Time Cellars in Costa Mesa. No on 5 to the 405 , then off at the 55 to CM. Call 800-331-3005 for detailed directions as I just point the ole' truck and him goes. As far as Temucula, when you get there stop at any gas station. They can direct you. I stay in Carlsbad when I go to SD. The Vera Cruz Fish House in downtown is a killer fishie jernt. WW
