North vs. South Tasting Experience

<p>North vs South: Temecula vs Napa – A Cellar Room Tasting Experience & Guided Showdown of Terroir Led by our winemaking team and Chef Lauren March, this immersive event features three thoughtfully crafted, appetizer-sized courses — each paired with two wines in a North vs South experience. Explore how regional climate, soil, and winemaking philosophy shape each wine, and discover how our Temecula estate wines compare to our own Napa Valley expressions, both crafted by Wiens Cellars. 🍷 Flight One: The Estate Cabernet Sauvignons 2021 Sage Cabernet Sauvignon (Temecula) 2020 San Ignacio Cabernet Sauvignon (Temecula) Paired with: Duroc pork loin, whipped ricotta, savory olive oil rosemary focaccia, and a balsamic reduction 🍷 Flight Two: Temecula Powerhouses 2021 Hansen Cabernet Sauvignon (Temecula) 2021 Goldreyer Cabernet Sauvignon (Temecula) Paired with: Bison meatball with black garlic blood orange sauce, served alongside fig and olive 🍷 Final Flight: Napa Valley Showdown In the ultimate comparison, experience how our winemaking extends beyond Temecula into Napa Valley—highlighting two distinct growing regions under the same philosophy. 2023 Prestance Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa) 2023 Prestance St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa) Paired with: Herb and garlic crusted steak, blackberry agrodolce, and a polenta cake finished with micro greens Who will win? Will Temecula’s bold, sun-driven character take the crown, or will the structured elegance of Napa Valley rise to the top? Taste, compare, and cast your vote. 🍷 Temecula vs Napa: You Be the Judge We’ll see you in the Cellar Room. Availability is limited and reservations are required.
