Temecula Wine Country

Antique shop in Temecula

 Everyone said we would like Temecula. They were right!  As we entered Temecula we headed for the Old Town, It is a cute downtown area with restaurants and antique shops.  First we we to the Old Town Antique Faire.  They has nice items and they also had customers..One thing we noticed is that all the antique shops that we visited in California has real live customers.  In New England, our antique shops are of devoid of any paying customers.  What a treat to see paying customers!

Rosi's Cantina Mexican Restaurant

We were hungry and chose Rosa's Cantina.
Its sort of like a mexican McDonalds. You order at the counter, get your food and drinks, get your utensils and salsa, and seat yourself.  It was excellent food.  We are starting to really enjoy mexican food!

Leonesse Cellars Tasting Room

After lunch we dicided to head to the winerys, There are lots of wineries in Temecula and we decided to sample a few of the smaller ones.  We stopped at Keyways, Oak Mountain Winery and Leonesse Cellars.  We bought two bottles of wine to bring back with us, but overall the wine was not that great.  Elly alway said that she doesn't like California wine, but there are about 30 more Temecula wineries we need to try.

View from Vacant House

After visiting the wineries (we drank enough wine) we decided to drive around the wine country and see the scenery.  We stumbled upon this vacant house up on a hill  for sale and drove up to see it.  What a view they had!

Embassy Suites Temecula

After getting lost a few times down dead end streets, the GPS is not always right, and even seeing a real live roadrunner, we decided to find a place to settle in for the night and get some dinner.  We stayed at Embassy Suites in Temecula and ate at the Black Angus Steak House at the Temucula Town Center.
