Had to come out to Ca for a family members 60th B day party. My sister in law told me that she was having it at Wilson Creek Winery, to tell you how small of a world it really is Bill Wilson is one of Stacy's RE clients and is currently shopping for a house in Lake Havasu!

Anyhow we just got here and I figured I would share some pics and the experience. Place is first class!

We used to rent a house out there every year to get the family together before we started boating again. My wife's cousin works at one of the wineries there, Europa I think.

Doffo has a Kurt Casselli memorial wine where the proceeds are donated to the Kurt Casselli foundation.

I'm in Temecula this weekend. Yearly trip with my brothers and nephews we've been doing since my dad dies. Got a house of Monte de Oro. Heading out for more tasting now. Beautiful day!

If you have time, visit the Thornton Winery at the corner of Rancho California and Butterfield Stage, a very nice facility too. If you walk directly up the hillside behind Thornton's and climb over the white vinyl fence you'll be in my daughter and son-in-laws back yard.

That's gotta be a pretty cool place to live! I really enjoyed the landscape and vibe back there. In all my years in so cal I had never been back there before.

I was surprised at how many people were at all the different wineries, almost had a theme park kind of vibe later in the afternoon.

Wilson Creek has great concerts during the summer, mainly country. Going to see Big & Rich there tonight.

Have seen Craig Morgan, Easton Corbin, and Lauren Alaina last summer.

Great place to see a show.
