This cookbook is a lifetime in the making and stands as a tribute to the lovers of food and wine and the dedication and sacrifice of the pioneers who came to work the soil and invest funds to make Temecula one of the top ten wine destinations in the world.

With over sixty years of combined experience in Southern California's Temecula Valley, food and wine pioneer, Martha Culbertson and beloved historian, Rebecca Farnbach bring you Flavors of the Temecula Valley Wineries.
