Doffo Wines - Temecula

Now this is a real treat. Doffo is only open if you call first. And even then, they often will tell you they are too busy to have you taste right now if they are working on the wines. We have called every time we’ve been down in Temecula, but this was the first time we were able to taste.

When we arrived there was nobody in the tasting room, so we just hung out for a bit. It was worth the wait. The wines are clearly carefully crafted, with lots of subtle tastes and aging potential. The cab was very nice, with a lot of potential, and we took some home to cellar for a few years.

The tasting room is in what is essentially a second garage for the house. The house is surrounded by 4.5 acres of grapes that are used to produce all of their wines. Doffo dubs themselves Temecula’s first “petite” winery, and they certainly live up to that promise. Highly recommended if they are open. Pick up a flyer from Stuart Cellars to get the phone number and directions.
