"Argentina-born Marcelo Doffo’s Italian roots inspired the budding winemaker to establish a winery in Temecula, which broadcasts classical music for the vines that birthed his still-popular red blend, Mistura, and has since fueled an expanding portfolio that includes a Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and a Vermentino, a more recent planting that grows well in the valley. Now overseen by his children, Doffo is also defined by the family’s passion for classic motorcycles, with almost 200 vintage motorcycles and scooters on display in the MotoDoffo Barrel Room, where visitors can sample wines produced by Marcelo’s winemaker son, Damian, and assistant winemaker Nadia Urquidez, a native of Ensenada who trained in Baja’s Valle de Guadalupe." - Candice Woo
