Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
My spouse and I have been visiting Bailey's for over six years, and it remains a favorite spot when we're in Temecula. The wines are a mostly positive experience. Most are exceptional, like the Cab Franc, while others, like the Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon , fall short. What keeps us coming back are Karen and Chuey, who make every visit memorable. We also enjoy Carols, even though its hours are limited.The shrimp scampi is outstanding, and Claudia, our usual server, consistently delivers excellent service. Bailey's will always be a must-stop for us!
What a great place. $20 gets 6 pours, keep the glass and $5 off bottle purchase. We tried 6 reds, all were excellent. Really enjoyed the Cab Franc and the Meritage. Chuck was exceptionally nice and thorough in explaining every pour. He surely added greatly to our tasting. Glad to take a couple bottles back to Oklahoma with us.
Loved the wines so much that became a member.
Went there Sunday for wine tasting. Don’t need reservations so really easy choice if you are suddenly in the mood to taste. Great grounds, wonderful ambience. Need a mask to go inside and plenty of seating outside to really enjoy the weather. Very dog friendly Tasting costs $20 for six pours. The white wines were all great (dry Riesling was particularly good). We enjoyed most of the reds as well. Stepped into Carols to see if they had a cheese plate or something easy to take out with the wines and they didn’t, but that wasn’t a big deal. Generally a great experience and highly recommend.
We did some research on the fly of which vineyard to visit and this one came up on Food & Wine, which we consider a somewhat reliable source, so we went. We got there and the parking lot was empty, we thought they were closed. Went inside and they were open, just a slow day I suppose. Inside has the look of a castle. The walk up had lots of interesting concrete decorations. Inside also had a very strong smell of air freshener, something that should never be used in a winery, let alone a tasting room. (After we left, it took a while to clear our noses of that heavy smell) The wines were just OK, definitely nothing at all what we’re used to from California wineries, more in linen with those we’ve visited in PA, CO, and even the run-of-the-mill very low-end VA wineries. But, to each their own. The lady working inside was very friendly and helpful. Prices are fair, they even have all sorts of specials, such as get 2 bottles free when buying a case. Guess they’re trying their best to move their wine!
