Temecula Valley Wine & Culinary Showcase Wrap-Up and Slideshow

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Did you attend the amazing Wine & Culinary Showcase on Friday, September 17th?  What a hit!  Almost 500 guests were in attendance, eating and drinking their way around the stunning patio and fountains at Monte de Oro Winery.  The entire association – made up of 31 wineries – brought their very best vino, happily mingled with their loyal fans, and introduced their wines to future wine club members.  There was so much delicious local food to taste, so many new winemakers to meet; it was certainly a special night to remember.  Check out the slideshow below – and be sure to join us next September for the Second Annual Temecula Valley Wine & Culinary Showcase!  You won’t want to miss it!
