Temecula Valley, winegrowing region or party destination?

Temecula Attorney, California, United States

Almond champagne, anyone? August 26, 2011 |By Patrick Comiskey, Special to the Los Angeles Times The tasting room is packed on a recent weekday afternoon at Wilson Creek (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles) The most popular beverage in the Temecula Attorney Valley, the picturesque wine region not far from the urban sprawl of Orange and San Diego counties, is something called "almond champagne." It is a more or less naturally sparkling wine (the bubbles induced in pressurized tanks) with almond flavoring added. Smelling sweetly of cream soda and marzipan, the wine's thick, cloying flavor wouldn't seem out of place in an ice cream parlor if not for a modest alcohol kick and its bitter finish. At Wilson Creek, the winery, restaurant, wedding and concert venue credited with popularizing the stuff, it sells so well that at least a half-dozen other valley wineries have developed their own versions. But Wilson Creek supplies only a tiny fraction of the fruit used for its cuvee. In fact Wilson Creek doesn't even make the wine; it's made in Lodi, 450 miles away. To most of the 500,000 or so annual winery visitors, none of this matters. Rather than a wine destination, the Temecula Attorney Valley has become something of a wine playground, where play wines upstage real wines, where "wine country" is a carefully cultivated affair that has less to do with what vineyards produce than with how they look all in the service of a tourist trade run slightly amok.

TIME JOCKEY: Temecula Attorney

The vote came at 3:34 a.m. after the council sat patiently into the wee morning hours listening to testimony from residents, largely a replay of the months of debate over the mosque. More than 110 people signed up to testify, though some drifted away after sitting through six hours of speakers. This was a democratic republic at its best," said Councilwoman Maryann Edwards. Plans by the Islamic Center of Temecula Attorney Valley to build a 24,943-square-foot mosque on a vacant 4-acre plot in northeastern Temecula Attorney, next to a Baptist church, have been attacked by opponents who have said the mosque will attract Islamic extremists and overwhelm the neighborhood with traffic congestion and noise. The citys Planning Commission unanimously approved the project in early December, and opponents appealed that ruling to the City Council, which held a packed public hearing on the project starting about 7:30 p.m.

The name itself derives from the Indian word for the Valley of Joy and was once the capital for several Indian nations. In 1852, the signing of the Friendship Indian Peace Treaty took place in this small town. A new town was surveyed in 1884 and was finally established in 1892. Temecula Attorney became one of the largest cattle centers in California. Cattlemen brought their herds from miles away to be shipped through the California Southern Railroad of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe systems. This was the only overland rail between Los Angeles and San Diego at that time. The huge Vail Cattle Ranch surrounded Temecula Attorney, but in 1964 the ranch was sold to developers who built hundreds of homes and named their development Rancho California.
