Hi! My husband & I visited your winery & resort even before you were open to the public (I think back in 2003). We were visiting family in San Diego and had the day (without our daughters) to visit some wineries. We drove up to yours and looked around and were invited in to look around...(mind you you hadn't even started construction on the resort, it was just the tasting room that was done). We spoke to your two winemakers, Javier Flores & Jon McPherson and another employee who were very friendly and answered any/all our questions about wine from the Temecula Valley. We tasted a few varieties and even bought a couple bottles to take back to Michigan. We really liked your 2002 Viognier (we asked your winemakers to sign a bottle for us, which they didn't mind doing at all!) I also bought an adorable sterling silver wine pendant w/ chain. We saved that bottle of wine for a special occasion and thoroughly enjoyed it! We still have the bottle and I always wear my necklace. We've thought about our pleasant experience there many times over the years and now we have an opportunity to visit you again in about a week. I'm amazed at how beautiful everything turned out and I'm looking forward to taking in the beauty of it all! Just wanted to let you know that we thought you had a good thing going way back then and I'm glad you've been blessed with such success! Sincerely, Lisa & Joe Colon from Howell, MI
