Awesome! I probably would have been put off by a brownish tinge in my wine - certainly in whites.

As part of my weight-loss plan I switched from beer to wine. I also joined wine clubs at 3 Temecula wineries this year.

This small winery is awesome:

their big zin (16.2%) is monstrously good (scroll down to bottom of page):

I'll also personally vouch for their viognier, the Stonelake merlot, and the cab franc. If you buy 'em and don't like 'em, craigsub will give you a full refund.
