Ok...they say you should blog about what you love and one of my top ten....besides Home Staging is...... WINE!

I currently belong to quite a few, which I love, but I seem to get in a "wine rut" and never branch out. 

So I am starting the Temecula Wine Crawl which will force me (haha) to visit other wineries after I deplete my few favorites and entice you to visit and enjoy the Temecula Wine Country. 

So let's get going.....

One of my favorite wineries in Temecula is Leonesse Winery. Just getting there is half the fun!  You have to drive along De Portola Road which is lined with massive homes,sprawling equestrian ranches and beautiful rolling hills with lots and lots of vineyards.

On my first trip to Leonesse...over 2 years ago....I fell in love with the wine and immediatly joined the Wine Club!!  The Wine Pourer Erin was so nice and friendly.  There was no wine snob-ness about this one!!  :)  Over the years I have become friends with the staff and I feel like part of the family! Ok I know what your thinking but I really don't go that often!!

The tasting room is well tastefully done!  Beautiful decor, high ceilings and a cozy fireplace with comfy leather couches.  What more could you ask for???  Oh yeah.....lots and lots of Leonesse fab vino! 

One of the best parts is that as a Wine CLub Member I can visit the winery as many times as I want and taste for FREE!!  You heard me right! 

Wooo Hooo! In this economy who doesn't need something for FREE!  It is really cool that I can also bring up to three guest!  Friends, clients, relative, enemies....the more the merrier. 

Another perk of the Wine Club is the Barrel Tasting Room. 

You take a really cool ride in a golf cart through the vineyards down to the Barrel Tasting Room.  I mean you go through rows of vines.  It is really a spectacular ride.

Here Mark and I are wine tasting in the Leonesse Barrel Tasting Room with fellow home stager and AR Member Marla & Phil from Burbank who stopped by on there way to Palm Springs.  I know...I know...tough life!

Relaxing with a nice glass of Syrah on the back patio is wonderful.  It's one of my favorite things to do at Leonesse.  I always appreciate how lucky I am to be able to drive only 20 mins away from home in Murrieta, CA and feel like I am in another country.  This time France sounds good! 

So really.....what are you waiting for???  Isn't it time you got away and stopped to smell the vineyards?

It would be my pleasure to show you some of the gems of the Temecula Valley Wine Country.

Stop and Smell the Vineyards..........................
