Temecula Valley Wine Country Meanderings

Churon

The Temecula Valley Wine Country is growing. The chateau above is the Churon Winery on Rancho California Road. I've had a couple of  interesting experiences over the past few weeks I thought I'd share with you. The other afternoon we were at Keyways Winery. There was a woman sitting next to us with a unique voice. I asked her if she'd ever done any voiceover work and she told me she had. Not only that, she's an interior designer and an artist. Let me introduce you to Janie Bowers.

Janie paints beautiful acrylics. She's holding "Winter Princess" here. She is totally self taught. I think her artwork is exquisite. She also paints wine bottles. I took these shots at Robert Renzoni Winery and watched her put grapes on bottles with colored glue.

She's truly one of the most creative people I know. Finally, I paid a visit to Alex's Red Barn. Alex and Lise Yakut run  this boutique winery and offer a variety of wines as well as a cream sherry. Their Grenache is quite tasty.

We moved from San Diego five years ago and Temecula is one of the things I miss about So Cal.    :)

Hi Tom...Oh, that must have been quite a temptation.  I think that painting of the "Winter Princess" is beautiful.  What talent.  Thanks for sharing.
