Here's the vineyards ...


and here's the other reason to go out there... the roads are amazing!

Ready.... Get set.....

There's nothing like the first time you come over that rise and see the ups and downs ahead...

Here's a link to the map of where this is... should anyone need such a thing...

MapQuest Maps - Driving Directions - Map

This wine country is 50 miles North of San Diego on I-15.

Odd numbered Interstates run north to south,
Even numbered Interstates run east to west.... for the most part.

I love Cali wines. Chardonnay especially

I agree Happy! Although, isn't California Wine Country Napa and Sonoma counties? Maybe since I moved they grow table grapes now.

I grew up in Temecula! My mom still lives there. It is a beautiful drive through there.

Yes, of course, Napa and Sonoma would like you to believe that!

I know what you mean I live in southern Oregon Wine country.

It is beautiful and GREEN, with a winery just about every 5-10 miles from each other.

To be fair, Napa and Sonoma are California wine country... They have a long history of producing some of the finest wines in the world.... but they're not the ONLY place that does that.

It is strange though that most Americans drink Coca Cola instead.
We call it the American wine here....Coca cola.

 

[happy]

and I call people like you boorish, elitist, europeans.

LoL.... I also prefer Coca Cola....


PS: I am NOT european.
Never was, never will be.

Naaah... rather "Most Swiss are sitting in their banks eating chocolates and looking at their watches... oh, in their papal uniforms!"

I like Hockey, maple syrup, beer, flannel shirts and beavers, eh?


...wait, what was the topic again?

I lived in Hemet from 1986 until 1999 when we moved o Missouri. I used to ride those roads all the time on all different types of bikes from 160 mph crotch rockets to HD dressers and BMW's and Goldwings but my favorite rides were on my dualsports like my last KTM 640EXC, where I rode to and from that area on jeep trails and single tracks! I also miss the ocean very badly!

Yep. Like most Americans do not have enough white refined sugar and phosphoric acid in their diets.
