Road Trip … ‘for the scenery, but also the food’ part 2

The road trip riding through the Monsoon edge continued… the route is second star on the right and straight on until morning (” translation … head south to Arizona and turn right“). The open road is a delight after being in Covid lockdown for the past year. it does the heart good to see and connected the points between. The snack of the road are Red vines. The destination is California Sunshine and the South Coast Winery in Temecula.

Culinary delights at the Vineyard Rose restaurant (our rendezvous) included Charcuterie for the table. Entrees included: well prepared classics such as seared salmon, South Coast Caesars and Penne Pasta with seasonal veg. The Hospitality and service were a bit strained – must be the rough edges of getting restarted again for inside dining and respecting relaxed Covid protocols. The interior decor is heavy – which i found suprising. An old world – transplanted of a formal setting. The experience is four out of five.

They are open.
