TEMECULA — Brown grape vines hang seemingly dead, lined with red and yellow leaves, against green rolling hills and beige boulders. But the dormant scenery doesn’t deter wine tourists from swirling blends of merlot, cabernet and pinot in their sampling glasses.
The Temecula wine country is often an afterthought among California’s prominent wine valleys, largely because it is relatively new to the scene.
“You can’t compare a 5-year-old surfer to a 25-year-old surfer,” said Gerri-Lynn Becker, director of operations for the Camarillo-based California Wine Club, a business that highlights California wines.
The wineries vary in size from small tasting rooms, where the person doing the pouring may be the owner and vintner, to what some locals call the “bigger wineries.” Though some of these have established themselves in the Southern California market, you’re not likely to stumble across bottles from most of them in your local Vons.
