wine tasting: WINE TASTING - PART FOUR - 05/16/11 12:24 PM

Okay, so after a wonderful weekend in Mexico, it's time to get back into the blogging swing!  So, here goes nothin'!
It was my friend's birthday and she wanted to go wine tasting.  Since she has been to many of the really local places we decided to take our guys and go out to Rancho Cucamonga which is actually only about four towns from La Verne.  It only takes about 20 minutes to get there... of course that's with me driving.  It may take you 30!

For instance, this wine store has a Wine Club called "The Joy of Sipping".  How fun is that?  And if you are a 'regular' they actually have a special glass for you with your name engraved on it that you use every time you come in.

wine tasting: SUMMER WEATHER, TIME FOR OUTSIDE PATIOS AND WINE TASTING! Part One - 05/05/11 07:37 AM
Okay, so it's that time of year again.  Time when the weather begins to warm up and we can dine outside on the patio while watching the amazing sunset. Time for the kids to start asking if the pool is warm enough to go swimming in again.  Time to start planning that summer vacation, where to go, what to see.  And time to get together with friends and go wine tasting.

So, I thought I'd share just a few of the amazing places near La Verne, CA to have a wonderful time.  This is part one in a series.
