When you think of the happiest place on earth, what really comes to mind? Is it an amusement park, a child’s playground, the park where you go to read? When I think of the happiest place on earth, I think of Lorimar Winery where the wine is exquisite and beyond reproach.
Lorimar is one of the only wineries in Temecula where the red wines are always ruby red to purple in color, have gorgeous bouquets, and are big in taste and smooth in finish. Wines that caress the nose with delicate flowers and strong fruits, pierce the tongue with a powerful singe of earth and fire, and slide down the throat with a very satisfying warmth that spreads like love and light all through the body. They really can not be explained to the extent of which they deserve, they must be tasted in order for one to appreciate their truth.
Although the wine is the beating heart of Lorimar, it is not the only reason you should be visiting, tasting, and joining. The truth is, it goes way past happiness when you visit Lorimar because they are so much more than just the wine, and that is saying a lot.
To begin with, the names of some of the wines reflect some form of music: Medley, solo, adagio, Crescendo, Duet, etc. and the bottles are all styled with music notes. Aside from wine, the owners of Lorimar are also big on music and that is reflected in the extremely talented performers they book to play on the weekends and for special celebrations, like their member only pick up parties.
Each month Lorimar features an artist on their walls. They have had several painters display their art, various photographers hang their latest exhibitions, those that draw, those that dream beyond reality, and those that express it are all welcome on the walls. This month, one of their very own employees has his artwork surrounding the tasting room. He paints somewhat surreal and the media goes beyond paint on canvas, some extreme skateboards cover the walls as well as the norm.
Lorimar is about wine, music, and art and that fact makes the artistic expression of Lorimar breathtaking.
