One of the best things about the Temecula Valley is that we know how to support a good cause: by throwing a party! Bear Creek’s first Taste of the Town event was the inspiration of organizers Charlotte DeHasa and Nicole Gilmore and they did a great job of coordinating with some of the best restaurants and wineries in the area to put on a benefit for the Boys and Girls Club of Temecula.

Local restaurants offered tastes of their most popular menu items in appetizer sized portions. Some of the stand out flavors were the Jalapeno Lime Salmon from D’Canters Wine Bar & Grill, the Creamy Chicken Masala from Raviolis! Osteria and the Filet Mignon Ravioli from Crivello Ristorante Italiano. Also offering delicious bites were: the Bear Creek Golf Club, Havana Kitchen Cafe, Soro’s Mediterranean Grill, Temecula Olive Oil Company and the Tilted Kilt. Baron’s Marketplace was a major sponsor, providing reusable grocery bags to each guest as well as offering a wonderful cheese assortment for the tasting. Truly Madly Sweetly Bake Shop was a huge hit with mini versions of their beautiful and addictive handmade desserts.

The patio of the club house was gorgeous, as usual, with views of the lush golf course and cooling breezes. Several wineries came out to support the cause and offer tastes of their crowd-pleasing wines. Stuart Cellars, Robert Renzoni Vineyards, Keyways, Monte de Oro, Leonesse Cellars, Boorman Vineyards Estate Winery and Danza del Sol were there pouring favorites and making friends. Also present and offering tastes was Trago Tequila. The award-winning Silver, Gold and Anejo Tequilas are well worth a sip and can be found at several of the participating restaurants.

The Bear Creek Golf Course Club House is a perfect venue for this type of event. Food, wine and live music courtesy of the Mark Sage Band made the gathering feel more like a cocktail party than a fundraiser which is just the way we like to Eat, Drink and Be Merry. Cheers to Bear Creek for bringing people together socially to benefit a worthwhile cause and cheers to the local businesses who came out to support the community.

Temecula Event: Special Fedora Night at Soro's on Wednesday, July 21st

Cruise down to Old Town for a fun-filled night with exceptional food, great service, and live music at Soro’s Mediterranean Grill on Wednesday, July 21st. The first-time ever “Fedora Night” will be held beginning at 6pm, giving customers a chance to dress up and enjoy the meal with wine pairings with classical dishes from the past. If you’re wearing a Fedora for the ‘guys’ and long dresses for the ‘dolls’ (or not) be ready to enjoy the music from the 30’s and 40’s complementing a wonderful feast alongside friends and family.  “We want customers to feel comfortable and welcomed in a fun atmosphere, this is what really matters”, says Dylan Soro, the co-owner of Soro’s Grill.

The Fedora actually came into existence in the late 1800’s, and was, at first, a female accessory. In the 20’s it made its way into men’s fashion and has since then been worn by both men and women- no wonder Soro’s decided to host a night in its honor. “It’s a chance to bring everyone together, you know, wining and dining, the old-fashioned way”, says Papa Soro, co-owner and father of Dylan. Guaranteed Papa and Dylan will be enjoying the night while sporting their favorite Fedoras and Zoot Suits!

Popular classics like the elegant rack of lamb will be served along with regular dinner menu selections including the flavorful Shrimp Scampi and savory Soro’s Favorite Beef will be on had to be enjoyed. Staff will recommend wines to be paired with the classic dishes in order to complement the entire night and create a reminiscent atmosphere. Choosing from a delightful dessert menu, customers can order the Turkishmisu or Soro’s Hot Ice Cream, both pleasant surprises to end the night with a sweet twist.

Soro’s Grill takes pride in welcoming every customer with open arms to the family while providing cuisine that appeal to different pallets. The fusion of Mediterranean flavors is what sets Soro’s apart from other restaurants in the area. If you’re in the mood for unique and delicious food, stop by for Fedora Night and become a part of the family. Make a reservation today by calling 951-587-8082.
