My husband and I drove to Temecula Valley to go wine tasting this past weekend, and it was a pleasant experience. I don't normally care for alcohol since it gives me a headache and makes me tired, but the small sips of various wines (6 tastings for only $6-8!) were enjoyable with our picnic of cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, and cucumber/sprouts/tomato/lettue sandwiches. It was a lovely, warm summer day, and the tasting rooms were cool and spacious.
The atmosphere was a touch pretentious, but we enjoyed each other's company and had a good time sampling the different wines.
I discovered that I am a fan of cream sherry and riesling. :wine:
EDIT: We visited the Mount Palomar winery, the Miramonte winery, and the South Coast winery.. I would recommend all three, particularly the South Coast winery, if you ever find yourself in/near the area. Many places also allow you to keep your tasting glass, which is a nice perk.
