Delyte's at Leonesse Cellars- So.Cal Wine Country

Delyte's is taking their food on the road, and into the vines! Time to pair some great food with spectacular wines. Leonesse Cellars has always been a favorite of mine.. so being able to cook culinary treats on site with these amazing wines, is a bit of a dream!


Leonesse Cellars was founded in 2003 by Mike Rennie and Gary Winder (which I am a very big fan of both gents!) who together have over fifty years of agriculture and grape-growing experience in the Temecula Valley. They are rock stars in my book.. but I am sure they would laugh at that remark. They get quality and produce wines of incredible depth and flavor. Gary grows citrus as well, including my favorite blood oranges which will be made into an up-side down cake for the menu! HA.. see, got you to think food.

We will be serving Delyte's Small Bytes in the tasting room at Leonesse Friday-Sunday from 11-4:30pm, beginning the 2nd week of May!
Come by for a little afternoon delyte!

Slow Food Chefs in Temecula's Wine Country

Diggin' Chef Mike Henry of Meritage Restaurant- Callaway Vineyards goods!

The Jersey boy can put out some slammin' food, including this little ditty he recently made for me at one of my last visits! A warm goat cheese crepe with an orange infused raspberry sauce, garnished with blackberries. That paired great with Callaways Viognier.

Mike is one of my favorite local chefs, continuously putting out food made with local, sustainable ingredient's. His Crispy Duck Confit with Roasted Local Carrots, Walnuts,
Sage & Cherry Vinegar, is another favorite of mine.
