The last winery I’d like to share with you from my NBC segment about San Diego County wines is Bernardo Winery. It’s the only winery I’ve ever been to where I did not drink any wine. Why, you ask? It’s not just a winery. People of all ages have something fun to do in this mini community. It was also 10a.m., I had La Jolla Girl with me, and I had a feeling I’d wind [...]

Despite being an incredibly easy 1 hour drive away from Temecula Valley Wine Country, I hadn’t been to any wineries out there in several years. I take that back, it had been almost 10. I feel absurd just typing that. I had a great time, intend to go back with more frequency, and drank some excellent wines. Here is what we did. I arrived at the Temecula Creek Inn to check-in for the night. Because [...]
