Chateau Cinsault {Vineyard} ~ temecula wine country

I love living near Southern California's Wine Country. Not that I drink wine...cuz well, I don't...lol But it sure does make for some very pretty picture locations! This particular vineyard {and home} belongs to some very dear friends of ours. I have known Mikki for more than 2/3's of my life...LOL that's a long time! Mikki's daughter, Dena and I were Rainbow Girls {a Masonic youth service organization} together all during our teen years...and even though life separated us for a while, just a couple years ago, all us girls got together at Mikki & Dennis' Chateau Cinsault for a reunion. It was a wonderful get together and I am so glad to have re-connected with my friends again. At the time of the reunion, Mikki & Dennis had had some vineyards planted and they were doing a lot of landscaping...in the hopes that someday ~ which was over this past weekend ~ their little vineyard would produce some beautiful fruit to be used in local Temecula Wines. So before the harvesters could pick the grapes, I got a call from Mikki asking if I could come take some pictures...and of course I said yes. A second note to this story is that Chateau Cinsault has been chosen as one of the homes that will be showcased in the Temecula Home Show in November...and some of these pictures will grace the wall of their home...I'm so excited to see the house all decked out for Christmas...anyway...here are a few from my time at Chateau Cinsault and the vineyard...
