Great point El Jefe. Temecula has the potential to cater to the Orange County, where they are the only region in driving range. Good to see Twisted Oak representing for Calaveras County. If you haven't heard of Twisted Oak, check them out at www.twistedoak.com. Their winery blog is called El Bloggo Torcido, that url is www.elbloggotorcido.com.

This is a very smart thing they are doing - by hosting other wine regions they are establishing themselves as a serious wine region. The inaugural event last year was great and we (Calaveras Winegrape Alliance)will be back there again this year!
