Vogue just featured Temecula Valley Wine Country as one of California’s underrated wine destinations, highlighting the vineyards, beautiful wineries, incredible food, hot air balloons, horseback riding and that relaxed, European-inspired feel. 🍷✨

It’s pretty special to see a place we know and love get this kind of national attention.

A little Tuscany. A little Temecula. And we get to call this home. ❤️

What’s your favorite Temecula winery?

Vogue just put Temecula Valley Wine Country on the national stage - calling it an underrated California wine region that can transport you straight to Europe. 🍷🌿

Those of us who live here already know how special it is.

Rolling vineyards, incredible wineries, beautiful restaurants, hot air balloons floating over the valley… and all of it right here in our own backyard.

I love seeing Temecula Valley get this kind of national recognition. ❤️

Have you visited Wine Country lately- and what’s your favorite winery?

Here’s the full article from Vogue:

Canyon Lake had WHAT kind of July?! 👀🏡

Home sales jumped 115% compared to July 2025, average price was up 27%, AND homes sold faster. Temecula had a strong month too, with nearly 29% more homes sold.

But that wasn’t the story everywhere.

Murrieta, Menifee, Wi******er, Hemet and Menifee’s senior market all moved differently — another reminder that there really is no single “real estate market.”

📊 Watch the July 2025 vs. July 2026 numbers for our local communities.

Curious what’s happening in your city, ZIP code or neighborhood? Send me a message and I’ll gladly send you a market snapshot for your area.

I found a really old business card of mine, I have no idea what year this was from but my guess is 2003-2005. I loved that haircut and these cards.

Murrieta is growing! 🏗️ We recently heard directly from the City of Murrieta’s Economic Development team about some of the biggest projects coming to the area — including The Triangle and Murrieta Marketplace near Clinton Keith & Wi******er. These developments are expected to bring new retail, dining options, and mixed-use spaces to the city.

We asked a lot of questions about the topic every local seems to have an opinion on: more housing, more apartments… and more traffic. 😅

The conversation also covered planned housing growth, infrastructure improvements, and how Murrieta is working to balance expansion while addressing traffic concerns and maintaining quality of life for residents.
