On Thursday April first I did not care about April Fool's Day but I did care about trying out the food at The Hacienda. Since we were considering the location for the wedding we were given a free dinner to try the food there. They are only open to the public as a restaurant on Thursdays so we had to go early in the evening so that Curtis could get to the class he teaches. The food was DELICIOUS! Seriously the best restaurant enchiladas I've ever had! And everything else there from the appetizers to the sopapillas were awesome! We were very impressed. They also have a Sunday brunch. We have to check that out soon!
Friday April 2nd we went to Temecula wine country to see a couple of possible wedding venues and do some wine tasting. It is so pretty out there! And the wine is so very good. We visited The Falkner Winery and Wilson Creek winery. Falkner is gorgeous and would be perfect for the wedding but is just a bit out of our price range. And we're concerned about making our guests trek out there as well. But yeah, it's super pretty. And their wine is also VERY good. We did a tasting of 7 wines each and they were all good! I hadn't eaten much so I got tipsy pretty fast. Also, my taste buds are a bit off lately ever since my cold and so I couldn't really handle my favorite reds and instead was really favoring fruity whites. Weird.
We also stopped for lunch at Wilson Creek Winery. The food at the Creek Side Grill was so very good! I used to do shows and attend parties at that winery years ago. It's been built up and expanded quite a bit. It's really pretty too but I think for the wedding I am favoring Falkner Winery. But it was neat to visit Wilson Creek and to have some of their famous Almond Champagne. Also, the busboy was cute and I in my tipsy state wanted to bite him. True story. Curtis loves me anyway. In fact after we left wine country he ended up buying me frozen yogurt with our friend Dean. I love frozen yogurt! And seeing Dean is always nice.
On Saturday April 3rd we had an early Easter dinner with Curtis's family. It was a nice day and as usual we stuffed ourselves silly on Curtis's mom's food. Seriously. SO. MUCH. FOOD. She always starts out with lots of yummy appetizers and so it's hard not to fill up on them but then when the main course is ready it's hard to eat! But it was all really delicious and we all had a really nice time catching up with everyone.
