What Do Jay Leno & Dick Cheney Have In Common? Temecula Wine!

barrel

 

We are abundantly blessed in the Temecula Valley. Our climate provides ideal conditions for growing fruits and vegetables and wine grapes are no exception. Our wine country continues to draw tourists and rave reviews. One of the newest additions is the Briar Rose Winery, open for tasting by appointment only.

 

Laura and I were anxious to pay them a visit having heard rave reviews. Jay Leno I was told stopped by one day and left with a case of their Cabernet Sauvignon. We arranged a visit recently and were delighted by what we saw and tasted. We were led to a table for two and greeted by the sommelier Gabriel.

We tasted several wines, all delicious, and learned a lot about wine and the reputation Briar Rose has earned. There are only a handful of restaurants that serve their wine, and it is on the menu at the Vice Presidential estate in the nation's capitol. We had a delightful time there and had a brief visit with Dorian, one of the winery owners. We plan many return visits!

Tom, Great post.  I will be sure to visit this one.  My husband and I visit one new one per week.  Oak Mountain is one of our favorites.  But Briar Rose sounds wonderful!

Tom, you have the nicest wineries and friendliest people (including you and Laura) right there in Temecula Valley.

Tom - If there is good food or good wine, you always know where to find it!!!! Sorry I missed your call - I discovered you had called a little after 1 am my time......too late to return calls! Talk to you soon!!!!

Hi Tom - Hope you are well. I figured somehow that Leno and Cheney had to be connected by Temecula wine:)
