I've actually never gone to the wineries of the Temecula Valley; I've only gone to Temecula to go gambling with my parents; my mom loves to gamble, and ever since California started opening up the casinos on the reservations, there really is no reason for them to go all the way to Vegas just to gamble. And I think Pechanga is one of the nicer casino/resorts in soCal; my parents would even go for the spa there. My partner and I have also gone to Temecula for the two meaderies they have there.

I'm not sure about how good the wines are from the Temecula Valley, but I've heard by a few people that they're pretty good. We don't go wine tasting at wineries often (if we want wine, we'll just buy some and drink it), but we have enjoyed Santa Barbara/Santa Ynez valley for the wines/wine tasting. We're not into Napa, we both find it extremely pretentious/annoying.

Sonoma might be more your speed. It's a little more laid back.
