Ready for something a little unexpected? In this episode of Pour Temecula, your hosts Rick DeLucio and Shannon Cole head to Corbeaux Wine and Tea House, where mixologist Bobby Castro and owner Regan Schneider shake up the idea of a traditional tasting with a wine and tea pairing adventure. You'll sip along as they compare tasting wine versus tea, dive into different tea styles, and even discover Verjus—a tart, ancient grape juice that's making a quiet comeback.

In Part 1 of this two-part tasting, you'll hear about three unique pairings: a White Peony Tea with a Grenache-Sauvignon Blanc blush, a Lung Ching Green Tea with Sauvignon Blanc, and a bold Oregon Pinot Noir paired with a rich Taiwanese Oolong. Plus, Regan shares the story of her family's longtime ties to Temecula, and how history, wine, and hospitality all come together at Corbeaux. It’s a pour you definitely didn’t see coming—cheers!
