Wine Information

Where can I find the best locations and info on getting started on wine tasting in Southern California?

Me and my girlfriend are wanting to go wine tasting this weekend but neither of us has and we don't know where to start.

1. Easy. Go to one of the many wine areas and start visiting wineries. About an hours drive north of Los Angeles is the wine region of Santa Barbara featured in the movie 'Sideways', head for the little town of Los Olivos where there are tasting rooms and details of the wineries or you can print out the Sideways winery map, link below. South of Los Angeles is the compact wine area of Temecula Valley, wineries close together and easy to get to, not as crowded as Santa Barbara. I've been to both - you'll love it!! Enjoy.
2. You can find local vineyards via the web link below and contact them for more information on there tasting schedule. Coincidently you can keep notes and reviews of wines you tasted with others on the other link.
