What it was like
Brian Gaylord & the Country Star Band play live country-western music at Ponte Winery Friday July 17 from 6–9 PM, paired with a BBQ buffet — Santa Maria tri-tip, classic country sides — and Temecula Valley estate wines under the summer sky. The rolling hills of Ponte's vineyard at dusk with country music and a glass already poured. The July heat breaks by evening. There is nowhere else you'd rather be. Tickets at pontewinery.com.
