Jamie's parents and younger brother arrived last Sunday. Jamie and I worked the first few days they were here so they could adjust to the time difference and just relax. So Friday, we decided to take them wine tasting in Temecula, what better way to relax right?
When we first arrived we walked around the old part of Temecula and did a bit of window shopping before we had lunch. It was about 92 F or 33 C, so it was fairly hotter than our place. Once we had lunch we headed down to the wineries.
My parents joined us for the day. This was the group (minus Jamie who was taking the picture) after our first tasting at the Callaway Winery.
By the 4th winery we needed some food, so cheese and bread seemed to be the best choice.
I had some of Jamie's tastings as I was one of the designated drivers. I think of it as he was my screener and only the better tasting wines were past on for me to taste!

It was a great day and we had a lot of fun. Being able to taste the different wines together really makes you appreciate the different flavors and varieties. I think by the end of the trip the flavors start to blend together but it was a fantastic day. We all bought at least a bottle. Our purchase for the day was Almond Champagne- beautiful!
