De Portola Wine Trail Tour
As I mentioned in last month’s newsletter, the OCWS has been approached by the wineries of the Temecula De Portola Wine Trail Winery Association regarding a visit to their area for a day of wine tasting.
Their association has told us that they will underwrite the cost of a bus for transportation to and from the OCWS Fairgrounds and the tasting fees for a large number of our membership to come down and visit for the day.
This looks like a great idea for a fun trip! Details are currently being worked out with the Association for a visit within the next couple of months. Director Kevin Donnelly and I will be coordinating the event which will include wine tastings, lunch at a winery, transportation, and whatever other goodies we can come up with.
We really see this as an outstanding opportunity to visit a wine region that is growing in both style and quality. We are told that as their grape vines have matured, their wine has excelled as well.
You have not seen an e-blast regarding this event yet, because we are still trying to work out a date that suits both our OCWS calendar and the De Portola Wine Trail Association’s upcoming crush.
It’s in the works! Stay tuned.
Kevin Coy and Kevin Donnelly
