TVWS held their Christmas luncheon on the Grand View Terrace at Wilson Creek Winery on Saturday,…read moreDecember 16 @11:30 AM to 2:00 PM. It was an elegant room adorned with festive decor, which had 3 round tables, each table seating 10. The food was absolutely delicious and served buffet style. The meal included a free glass of wine. Our choice of wine was the White Cabernet Sauvignon. We're not wine connoisseurs but we liked the taste. We aren't sophisticated wine drinkers at all. There were fun raffles, with a variety of prizes. Hubby won a bottle of Prosecco, we were happy about that! Our special guest was Rosie Wilson, the matriarch of the Wilson family. She was a very sweet & gracious lady. TVWS presented her with a vase with a bouquet of flowers. Mick Wilson came in and accepted a beautiful plaque that TVWS presented to him and his family. He was a very engaging speaker and TVWS is looking forward to plan future events either him. We thoroughly enjoyed this luncheon and all the very friendly members. I thank Sandy Neal, current president, for convincing me to join. My husband and I plan to renew our membership for 2024. Hopefully, when I retire next year we can become more involved and become familiar with the great wineries surrounding us! Please see the photos posted of past events and fun recipes published in the monthly member newsletter, The Crush. Consider joining this wonderful group.

Through our events we raise money for college scholarships for those seeking a career in the wine industry. Last year we provided the Lab Equipment for our new college by the Temecula Costco. This year we hope to put in a small vineyard so the students can grow their own grapes. Our yearly dues are $35 and our average monthly event is $35/40 including good, wine and event. TVWS is the original society formed when Temecula started their wineries. Come joint in the fun while helping to raise scholarships for our area's students.

Wear comfy, closed-toe shoes and if you visit in the late afternoon, take a sweater as once the sun went down, it was chilly. If you're looking for something fun to add to your private event, they also make appearances with the animals!

Bravo to the Temecula Valley Players who have succeeded once again to entertain and keep the audience happy with their adaptation of this Charles Dickens story. What a great way to get into the spirit of the holidays! As soon as the curtains opened for the first act I was blown away by the costumes, set, and ah yes, the performers singing and dancing. I especially liked the choreography and dance numbers in this show. One thing that I noticed was that the background music was a bit too loud and drowned out some of the singing. I had a difficult time hearing the voices and words come through. There were a few other little hiccups during this opening show, but the joy this performance gave me by far overrules any mishaps. Hurray to Old Town Temecula Community Theater, Temecula Valley Players, and the performance of "A Christmas Carol"!

Unfortunately, during our latest visit, we encountered some challenges that were quite…read moredisappointing. We have visited multiple times in the past without any issues, except the fact that they were closing early, but this time, we found the experience less than satisfactory. Your phone line indicates that you are open until 7 PM from Tuesday to Saturday and until 5:30 PM on Sundays. Online it says till 5:30pm. However, when I called to confirm your hours prior to our visit, no one answered. I arrived at 4:32 PM on my daughter's birthday, the day she had been eagerly looking forward to painting. To our dismay, we were informed that we could not paint, even though there was still an hour before closing time. We had planned to make bracelets, have a hat made, and enjoy the painting experience together. I understand that circumstances can vary, but it was disheartening to be turned away in such a manner, especially on a special occasion. She could have offered to let her paint for only 30 mins or whatever would allow her to close on time. She just seemed like she didn't want us there because she was on a time crunch to leave. Mind you the business is completely empty so you would think you'd want to make money. I believe it would be beneficial to ensure that your hours are accurately reflected on your phone line and to allow customers to enjoy their time until closing. We really loved this place but are definitely turned off now.

All of us moms painted something and some of our girls made bracelets at the charm bar. Open studio is great if not everyone can decide what they want to do.

It ended up that we had to postpone our wedding...she was super understanding and told me just to let her know the future date. When we finally had the date set, we contacted her and were pleased to find out that her company could also provide the catering for our reception. We did a taste test of our menu (chicken katsu, bbq spare ribs, pineapple fried rice, macaroni salad, spam musubi) and everything was ONO- my husband is really picky about hawaiian food and he was a fan. My favorites were the chicken katsu and pineapple fried rice. The highlight of our reception was the performances- they provided their own sound equipment, lighting and music. The MC was hilarious- we loved the dancers performances, ukelele playing and how they had some of us come on stage at the end. All of our guests loved it and my parents were really impressed. Thank you Alicia and the Makanalani Luau group for making our wedding reception a night of great food and even better memories :)

In the four years since I first saw this program, the only Cabaret at the Merc I missed is one night was when I was sick. This is a stellar program. There are so many things great about it. The talent is fantastic and the producers wonderfully match the music to the vocalists and band. The vocalists come from a variety of places and backgrounds that show the quality of their professionalism. The band is top notch. Leigh, the piano player, is an amazing pianist who adds a tremendous touch to the program. Will, one of the guitar players, will leave you craving for more. Not to play second place, the venue is part of what makes this program so fun. It is a very intimate setting, where there is frequent banter between the audience and the performers. The feel is light-hearted and you can tell the performers truly enjoy participating. The fun of sitting a few feet from extremely talented people and taking in beautiful music is an experience. Each theme presented stands on its own and range from Broadway to rock to soul. Am I over-the-top for this program.....yes!

They had a good variety of places to eat and at the end of the food area was a large restaurant with TVs screens and plenty of tables. It's a first come first serve basis there is also an area that you can reserve for parties and it has a view of the field. If you get to the area early, there are plenty of shops and activities to do such as bowling and a movie theater. Bathrooms are very clean with plenty of stalls. Has any other stadium the food stands get pretty packed so come in and get your food early. I would love to watch another game here probably not during the summer though. We came at the end of May and it was hot.. I want to mention the beautiful memorial structure. They have at the entrance of the stadium to honor Veteran's and all branches of the military.
