In this episode of Pour Temecula, we finish our discussion with writer, historian, and winegrower Rob Crisell as we continue exploring the rich history of Temecula’s wine industry and his book, Temecula Valley Wineries. Rob shares how the devastation of Pierce’s Disease unexpectedly paved the way for new viticultural opportunities, leading to the region’s expansion and an influx of larger wineries. We discuss the shift away from smaller, family-run operations, how the industry has adapted post-COVID, and the continuous improvements in wine quality. Rob also introduces his latest book, The History of California Avocados, connecting agriculture and storytelling. To wrap up, we tested Rob’s palate in “The Pour,” a fun blind tasting challenge. If you haven’t yet, check out Part 1 for the entire conversation!
