DAY OF WINE & CHOCOLATE<br />
(what more could you ask for?!)<br />
Hospice of the Valleys hosted their annual fundraiser,<br />
A Day of Wine & Chocolate, here at the winery.<br />
Friend of the <strong>Winery</strong> and “Extended Family”<br />
member John Hunneman was the guest emcee of<br />
this great event!<br />

Chocolate Port into chocolate cups for guests.<br />
BUBBLES & HOOPS?<br />
Recently NBA Hall-of-Famer (and as he quickly pointed out, father of current<br />
NBA player Luke Walton) Bill Walton visited our winery with his lovely wife Lori.<br />
We had such a nice visit, and Bill was so great about signing autographs and letting<br />
us take pictures. We hope they’ll come back to visit us soon!<br />

BOTTLE SHOCK -<br />
The Movie...<br />
a true story of love, victory and<br />
fermentation!<br />
There are certain moments in history when<br />
America has proven itself to the world: Neil<br />
Armstrong setting foot on the moon, or the US<br />
Men’s Hockey team defeating the Soviet<br />
Union in the 1980 Olympics. One such<br />
moment, however, never got the recognition it<br />
deserved. In 1976 several small, relatively<br />
unknown California wineries entered the<br />
“Judgement of Paris” tasting competition<br />
to celebrate America’s bicentennial. Napa<br />
Valley’s Stag’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon and<br />
Chateau Montelena Chardonnay bested the<br />
exalted French wines of the time, sent the wine<br />
industry into a tizzy and put California wines on<br />
the map for good! If you love America and<br />
wine, you’ve got to see<br />
this movie!<br />

Recently Deanna <strong>Wilson</strong><br />
mentioned to all that there<br />
was soon going to be a new<br />
addition to their family! We<br />
immediately started planning<br />
a baby shower but soon found<br />
that the shower gifts should<br />
be rawhide chews and rubber<br />
toys! Meet the newest<br />
member of the <strong>Wilson</strong> Family,<br />

Sarah <strong>Wilson</strong>’s new puppy!<br />
Fox 11 News personality<br />
Rick Lozano made his annual<br />
pilgrimage to <strong>Wilson</strong> <strong>Creek</strong><br />
and Temecula Valley Wine<br />
Country to report on this<br />
year’s crush! Poor Rick had<br />
to drink Champagne with Bill<br />
at 7:00 AM in the morning!<br />
Poor guy!<br />

In the wilds of Montana,<br />
while Bill, Jenifer and their<br />
family were vacationing,<br />
someone saw the <strong>Wilson</strong><br />
<strong>Creek</strong> logo on the back<br />
of their car in the<br />
campground and raced<br />
over to tell them how much<br />
they loved our Almond<br />
Champagne. Of course,<br />
Bill & Jen had to share a<br />
bottle with these nice folks!<br />
Have Almond, will travel!<br />
Recently members of our<br />
local Riverside County Fire<br />
Station visited the winery to<br />
familiarize themselves with<br />
our new facilities. While<br />
they were here, other guests<br />
connected with them, too.<br />
Worlds collide here often!<br />
The firemen were such good<br />
sports about getting their<br />
pictures taken! Oh, and<br />
FABULOUS HATS,<br />
LADIES! Thanks for<br />
sharing<br />
your<br />
birthday<br />
celebration<br />
with us!
