While Gaslamp Quarter, Coronado, Hillcrest and Pacific Beach are always in the San Diego news spotlight, the Wine Country needs a little lovin’ every now and then, too. Discover who said what about Temecula news this week.

Wine-O: Do Temecula wine tours the right way with Cali Party Bus. As exclusive members of the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association, passengers on all Cali buses are guaranteed entry into each vineyard. Grab a group of your closest friends, board one of the luxurious limo buses and keep the party going from winery to winery.

Fatality: A parolee was shot and killed in the Wine Country area after an eight-mile pursuit was identified on Saturday as Timothy Joseph McCall. McCall had been driving a Ford F-150 with stolen plates when authorities initially attempted to stop the truck. A deputy near a winery exit shot and killed McCall as he accelerated the truck towards the deputy.

Construction: A detailed analysis of how the $140 million French Valley Parkway project will affect the environment was released on Wednesday. The parkway project features two miles-long onramps that will run parallel to the congested stretch on Interstate 1 – from Winchester Road to the Interstate 215 split – to alleviate “weave movement” of traffic on northbound and southbound sides of the 15 freeway.

Tea Party: Last Wednesday, hundreds of protestors joined the Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly on the corner of Ynez and Rancho California Roads to express their disapproval of the state and federal tax bills with their very own "Tea Party". You tell 'em!

Brutal: An Anza man was charged with animal cruelty on Wednesday after he was accused of decapitating his horse and feeding its head to his dogs. According to court records, Jack Mark Ziniuk could face four years and eight months in prison if convicted of two felony courts of animal cruelty.

Upscale Digs: The new extension at the Promenade Temecula has definitely brought a new way to dine and shop. The 127,000-square-foot expansion includes Lucille’s Smokehouse, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and Yard House. Yummy.

Baguettes?: Despite the recession in our midst, the Great Harvest Bread Company has been packed with a plethora of patrons since its opening. The Valley News sat down with sisters-in-law, Bobbie and Alicia Trevithick, who opened the Temecula-based franchise for a little one-on-one on how they are staying on top.
