Ridgeview at the Groves, Selling So Cal's Wine Country Lifestyle

Temecula, one of the lesser known wine regions in California will soon be home to a new luxury development. Ridgeview Estate at the Groves is a $102 million dollar development of 41 two-acre custom home sites located in the hills overlooking Temecula. The gated community will include finished individual view lots. Temecula, which is in Southwestern Riverside country, has been experiencing a boom in tourism with resorts and increased attention focused on local wineries. Temecula lacks the lavish gorgeousness of Northern California's wine country but the estates will still probably be quick sellers. The first phase of lots will be released in October.

Related: It seems like Temecula is having some of the same problems with wine-rowdy tourists that plague Napa and New York wineries.

Wiens White Port

Filed under: Wine

You are probably well aware that Port wine is available in both ruby and tawny styles but there is also white port from white grapes. The white Port from Wiens Family Cellars in Temecula, California is full of citrusy, pineapple and butterscotch flavors, a decadent combination that the winery suggests pairing with a white chocolate dessert. I think it would be amazing with a creme brulee too, especially the ginger creme brulee served by one of my favorite restaurants. The 2004 white Port sells for $32.
