About

I'm Pete — and I didn't grow up in the Temecula Valley. My wife did. She's been my guide to every back road, every locals-only spot, and every neighborhood shortcut since we decided this was home.

That combination — her roots, my fresh eyes — is what Temecula Valley Digest is built on. Because the valley has something real going for it. Not the tourist version with the wine country photos and the balloon festival stock shots. The actual version. The Friday farmers market vendor who sells out of tamales by 9:30. The new hole-in-the-wall on Margarita that you drive by everyday you’re too afraid to try but really want someone to tell you is good so you have a reason to try. The things your neighbors know and the tourists don't.

TVD goes out Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Three emails a week. Short, curated, and written by someone who cares about this place — because it's home.
