Happy September everyone, and this leads to my favorite month of the year. Not just because it is California Wine Month, but because September has always been a month of change for me, and this September, is no exception as I will be moving to Northern California at the end of it.
But, yes, September is California Wine Month and I’d like to show case a variety of events happening in the different wine regions for the month long celebrations:
Temecula:
Purchase a SIP pass for just 35 dollars, and you will receive a flight from 4 of the 35 wineries within the region.

This event will bring together all of the winemakers from the 35 wineries, with gourmet foods, dancing and entertainment throughout the night. A fun event not to miss.
