FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2019 41 Oak Mountain Winery is a fun, family owned winery on the De Portola Wine Trail in Temecula's wine country. They specialize in growing classic warm weather Mediterranean varieties of grapes which include Mourvedre, Viognier, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel and Sangiovese Brunello. Oak Mountain is also home to Temecula's first subterranean wine cave. Our guest speaker, Kathie Pensinger, lived in Italy and France for 12 years, and began her love affair with wine during that time. After returning to California, she studied Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis. As a wine educator, she teaches wine classes which include Blind Tastings, Blending Classes (teaching you how to blend your own wines) and classes on the Bordeaux and Rhone regions of France. These classes include proper wine etiquette and analyzing wine and also include a test to determine your own individual palate. Please join us at our Taste d'Vine Wine Club meeting on April 18 (the third Thursday of the month) in the Ballroom. Doors open at 5:15 pm with the meeting starting at 6 pm. Please bring a favorite wine to share with your table along with an appetizer such as crackers, cheese, fruit, dessert, or anything in between, along with two glasses for tasting. Cost: members $5, guests $10, and non-resident guests $15. For info, contact Terry Hall (714) 369-0828 at Terryhall005@gmail.com; or Barbara Mull at BarbaraRN1973@gmail.com. ~ Terry Hall Taste d'Vine We continue to rehearse every Monday from 3 to 5 pm until our performance at the upcoming Variety Show in May. While we work hard to learn our music, we also laugh and have a lot of fun together. Singing helps your breathing and your sinuses and helps you to be social at the same time. Singing releases endorphins into your system and makes you feel energized and uplifted. If you would like to join the Singers, would like to be included in my email list, or if you have questions about the Four Seasons Singers, call (951) -797-3466 or email me at bawasco@dc.rr.com. We always welcome new recruits who want to sing! ~ Barbara Wasco Four Seasons Singers The Cave at Oak Mountain Winery Classical Music Club We are classical music lovers with an interest in sharing our love, knowledge, and interest in classical music. We meet on the second Thursday of each month at 7 pm in the Theater. We listen to and watch musical selections on the big screen. Each month we focus on a particular work or several selections of one composer. We also discuss current musical performances in the area. We welcome new members. Contact Steve Benoff at steve.benoff@verizon.net or (310) 413-4896. ~ Steve Benoff The rainbow is a powerful symbol that represents beauty, balance, peace, and hope. As such, we believe it is a perfect representation for our group. We are residents of Four Seasons Beaumont who also happen to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. The rainbow is so perfect because it really fits our group's diversity in terms of race, gender, ages, and beliefs. While we strive to serve the interests of our members, we do welcome all supportive homeowners, and encourage everyone to attend any of our functions. We believe you'll enjoy our company. Everyone leads busy lives (even at our age!), and we often find it difficult to stay connected with our neighbors. Therefore, the Rainbow Group has monthly get-togethers on the fourth Thursday of each month in the Game Room at The Lodge at 6 pm. Our next gathering will be Thursday, April 25. Our monthly get-togethers are mostly informal social gatherings which give members an opportunity to meet new neighbors, catch up on member and community activities or news, and just chat — no stuffy agenda items, roll calls, or minutes for us! If you're hungry, come eat with us. We chose The Lodge's Game Room as our gathering place because of its proximity to The Bistro — where you can order food. But feel free to bring your own food items and adult beverages. The Rainbow Group also hosts periodic gatherings for socializing (such as BBQs and holiday potlucks), LGBT-themed movie nights in The Lodge Theater, and other events the group may sponsor. Maybe you'd even like to suggest your own activity for the group — we are always open to new ideas.
