The wrong solution to Europe's economic slump
Lawrence Summers ["Europe's growth challenge," op-ed, April 30] argued that European economic growth can be ignited by promoting consumption via deficit spending. He acknowledged that it would be helpful to also "raise retirement ages, reform sclerosis-inducing regulations and restructure benefit programs" — but only when economic growth, fed by consumption, has begun.
The problem with this thinking is that it will not produce the changes many European countries need to make their economies competitive once again. Once deficit-induced growth begins, the pressure will be off, and no politician will be able to muster the votes needed for reform. The gravy train of government benefits, government jobs with great pensions and health-care benefits, and the regulations designed to protect firms and workers from competition will once again be the platforms for politicians.
Fortunately, there are a few European leaders who understand this. Let's hope they persevere.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Franklin D. Roosevelt Paris
Loved the Franklin Roosevelt
My boyfriend and I went to Paris during the first week of April for my birthday. We stayed at the Franklin Roosevelt for 8 nights. I highly recommend this hotel. It is perfectly located between the arc and the Eiffel, and only about two blocks from the Champs. we were able to walk to everything.
the hotel staff was extremely friendly and spoke very good English. They helped my boyfriend suprise me with a vase of flowers, tickets to the Moulin Rouge (which i highly recommend), and placed rose predals on the bed. The rooms were great too. Good size, nice bathrooms.
Overall a great place to stay and an ever greater city to visit.
Great hotel
Visited Paris and stayed at the Franklin D Roosevelt Hotel from March 17-20th 06.
Firstly, Paris is a fabulous city, larger than imagined and full of fantastic architecture, culture, museums, shopping, food and people.
Franklin D Roosevelt is a great hotel, brilliantly located a few minutes walk from the Champs Elysees, and on one of the main Metro lines. Very classy interior, lovely rooms, very helpful and attentive staff, nice buffet breakfast and fantastic location.
Would suggest anyone planning a trip to Paris makes the effort to speak some French - even if you only manage 'please' and 'thank you' - because it makes all the difference, and we found speaking French with the hotel staff made for great service.
Would recommend this hotel, and when we're next in Paris would definitely stop here again.
Bon voyage!
Very Good Boutique Hotel
Friendly service, small but serviceable rooms, very very clean, marble bathrooms, nice woodwork throughout, "British hunting club" style lobby, EXCELLENT location-close to shopping and many restaurants, breakfast overpriced. Highly recommended hotel.
Wonderful romantic hotel
Stayed here with my newlywed wife for 3 nights in October. We found the hotel to be wonderful and greater than our expectations. The rooms were clean and of an acceptable size. The location is within several blocks of the Champs Elysees and the Franklin Roosevelt subway connection. This line parallels the Champs Elysees and is a central line to most sites.
The hotel was quaint and romantic with the old world feel that you can't find in the United States. Bathrooms were fine no shortage of hot water. The staff could have been a little more polite but certainly did not respond in a manner which would cause you to feel offended.
All in all we recommend this hotel and would return to The Hotel Franklin Roosevelt on future visits.
Wonderful small hotel
We just returned from a 7 night stay at the Hotel Franklin Roosevelt. The location was perfect, close to the Champs Elysees, the Seine and several metro stops. We stayed in a deluxe room on the 5th floor which had a small balcony with a table and chairs. I felt the size of the room was more than adequate with a spacious bathroom. Everything was decorated beautifully and was very pleasant. The hotel staff were very helpful with directions and restaurant reservations. We loved the neighborhood. Many small restaurants to walk to, many upscale shops, a little market across the street and a wine shop right next door. We bought a few bottles, brought them back to our room and put them in the minibar. It was great to come back in the late afternoon and enjoy a glass of wine before we went out for the evening. The breakfast was pleasant though it was not included in the price of our room. There were people staying there that said it was included in their package deal. The continental breakfast was 15 euros and included coffee, juice, fruit and pastries. We did do this a few mornings but found we liked going out better and for usually around 6 euros. I do not think you will be disappointed in this lovely hotel. Everything about our stay at the Franklin Roosevelt was wonderful
Small but nice
stayed 24/02/05 for 4 nights. Clean, comfortable hotel, which if you pay a reasonable rate for you'd be pleased with. The standard double rooms are small and the bathrooms tiny, which is where they lose my rating. All rooms have been renovated in last couple of years, but if you view their website they only show more expensive upgraded rooms. Breakfast if included, consited of a simple continental buffet - perfectly adequate or you can pay extra for a cooked breakfast. Staff very friendly and bi-ligual. All rooms have a/c. Situated in an area of Paris close to all the designer houses and easy to get around by metro. Not the area for cheap restaurants.
Great Small Hotel Close to the Champs Ellesse
We stayed here in September of 2003. It appeared that the hotel was newly renovated because everything was fresh and clean and worked. Our room was on the street side and noise did not seem to be a problem. It is about 5 blocks form the Champs Ellesse and 2 blocks from Avenue George V. The staff was friendly and helpful. This being our first time in Paris we did not know what to expect but all went well and we had a great time. There is a small dining area where our Continental Breakfast was served. Great pastries and fruit. Also a small bar and sitting area off the lobby. We will be staying there on our next trip to Paris. Anyone with questions or comments please mail me. Thanks.
Excellent Location
I visited this hotel during New Year's and would have to say it was more than I expected. The staff was very pleasant and the room was comfortable and bigger than what I thought it would be. There was some construction going on in some of the rooms, which was distracting but lasted only a day or two. It is about 5 blocks from the Champ Elysees and 2 blocks away from a view of the Eiffel Tower. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to anyone.
Best Little Hotel In Paris
We spent six nights here over the New Year Holiday,we could not have been more pleasantly surprised.Excellent only begins to describe every aspect of the hotel.The location is the best,the property is perfectly naintained,the room was far better than the price and the staff would make any owner proud.We will return.
Hotel Franklin Roosevelt Fibs About Air Conditioning
If you stay at this hotel-REQUEST A ROOM ON THE FFTH FLOOR-take no other if you want air conditioned comfort. At present the only floor that has been renovated and has AC is the fifth, even though the hotel is advertised as being air conditioned. The rooms facing the street are extremely noisy with the windows opened. If you do not need the AC, request a courtyard room, it's quieter. There is a HUGE difference in the renovated fifth floor and the remaining floors. Also check your hair dryer when you move into your room. Mine did not work and the front desk personnel was not at all interested in replacing it.

One Dutch woman told us we brought the California sun with us, I'd like to think that's true :) Currently we are couchsurfing in Munich, Germany.

At this point, we both felt very tired and very hungry. We decided against trekking to see Moulin Rouge and found a nearby metro to take us back to Bastille. We showered and relaxed for a few minutes at the hotel and then decided to stroll around the area in search of a good restaurant.

Led Zeppelin Accused of Plagiarism
*spanish flea playing at the background*
Digging: Miss Fame - Beauty Marked
the songs in question are from the 1960's and yet they're only coming forward with the charges now...
Digging: Mutoid Man - Bleeder
Well this is really fucking stupid
People really have to give up on talking about how Led Zeppelin stole songs. There's only a certain amount of note
sequences one can write in a certain key and there are 7 billion people in this world. Odds are these guys aren't the first to
think of it either.
They couldn't afford an attorney until now apparently
zep's accountant will give them 5k to fuck off
RANDY California.
And the only thing Zeppelin are guilty of is turning un-listenable, presently anachronistic proto-blues into masterpieces.
i wonder if snide has something to do with this
Digging: Between the Buried and Me - Coma Ecliptic
Oops don't know where Richard came from
I'm not quite sure this classifies as a 'rip-off'...
Digging: Global Communication - 76:14
The first three notes in both songs are the same and it's a similar sounding guitar line, but last time I checked you can't copyright chord progressions
Digging: Cradle of Filth - Hammer of the Witches
the work of young people convincing old people that they've been 'ripped-off' by old successful people and to take action
they wouldn't have cared if it wasn't pushed in their faces
"Led Zeppelin Accused of Plagiarism"
lol, for the first time?
Digging: Wizard - Bound by metal
shots fired
It's a little late, don't you think?
Digging: Faustcoven - Hellfire and Funeral Bells
add it to the list
Zeppelin plagiarize?????! NO FUCKiNG WAY!!!!
Digging: mewithoutYou - Pale Horses
randy california just heard stairway to heaven for the first time a few weeks ago and realized hey i wrote something a little similar to that intro
Hasn't this theory gone on for years? Spirit apparently acknowledged in their liner notes that they heard the similarities when they toured together.
Digging: Elemantra - You Feel Bad About You
well that's it; stairway to heaven is no more all hail taurus
I'll just leave this here for the people saying people need to stop claiming Led Zeppelin stole anything.
Music builds upon itself over time.
These geriatrics just need some $$$.
Digging: The Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
This is weird, I thought Page asked him to use part of the chord progression in Taurus and Randy said it was okay. Way too late to be suing over this
Digging: Old Wounds - The Suffering Spirit
lol Randy's been dead for a long time now, his estate must be similar to hendrix's if they're this
greedy. Plus the songs are not the same, page probably heard Taurus, but I wouldn't sue anyone over
im sure no one will ever jam zeppelin again
most overrated song of all time agrd
Digging: Made In Heights - Without My Enemy What Would I Do
Most underrated song of all time, agreed.
this is destined to be one of the best news threads of the year
Digging: Death - Symbolic
"im sure no one will ever jam zeppelin again"
If feel like this would only ruin Led Zeppelin for idiots. It's only like the first minute of the song anyway and it's not even
identical anyway, just similar.
Spirit just wants money and attention.
Digging: Portishead - Portishead
no way the sky must be blue
smoke weed[2]
zep opened for spirit for one of their early american tours.
also plant and bonham have both cited spirit as an influence for poseurs who don't know
Should have sued The Black Keys, that submarine song is basically a rip off of stairway.
It's a bit late
Best sput comment 2014. I burst out laughing in class. fucking classic.
isn't that ah.. statute of limitations or something?
'It's a bit late'
They've done it just before the forthcoming Led Zep reissues. Perfect timing eh ;)
led zeppelin
mo like....ded zeppelin
Pfft, more like Stealway to Heaven
I'm so sorry
Digging: He Is Legend - I Am Hollywood
Also CALIFORNIA REST IN PEACE
yeah. yeah
Randy was dreaming of californication.
Until RHCP sued him for plagiarism.
this is gay
still love u spirit tho xx
hopefully they can come back from this disturbing revelation
@Emin hahahahaha...
Think of the fans, think of the fans.
Everyone knows Page did "rip off" or get inspired by the Taurus intro but seriously why all of a sudden the legal action. Dat's just uncool.
Digging: Lucio Battisti - Anima latina
"Randy California"
Still, I don't trust in anyone who doesn't like led zeppelin
Yeah, is so hard to trust in people who doesn't like zep
lol this is fucking retarded
Digging: Blind Witness - I Am Hell
A day late and a dollar short?
They'll prob be dead by the time they receive the money
this isnt for money this is to try and make the other band relevant
The non-plagiarized albums are good
if thats the case bigsneakysnatch it aint gonna work. spirit shirts will not replace zep usa tour 77 shirts at any department store
Water is wet, news at eleven
I must burn all my Led Zeppelin vinyls, bunch of liars...No but seriously, Randy California? Greatest name ever haha
100 years later lmao someone needs crack
Also if this guy had any class he would think of it like Ian anderson does with the eagles...
sonic theyre obviously not going to be more relevant, but still this is the first real publicity theyve had in years. i mean theres no way theyre going to get any money
specially if the judge is zepfan
People are still surprised by this? They've always been a shitty band.
everyone wants a piece of the pie
dat custard pie.
I love how no one reads the article before commenting, half the time, on here. It was SAID why it's only happening just now. They needed money for legal action, which he/they did not have until now, according to the article.
Who cares? Stairway to Heaven is great.
I'd sure like a piece of your custard pie
Digging: Alice in Chains - Sap
and thus Led Zeppelin's career is in shambles
A little late, isn't he? Shouldn't he have done this, you know, when it came out.
scoot already won this thread guys
scoot already won this thread guys [2]
fuckin scoot he like never posts anymore but when he does it's A+++
Ha! I just listened to Taurus and claiming Stairway to Heaven is a rip off of that is a bit of a stretch... Actually it's quite a long stretch. Had I not read this and listened to that song, I'd never thought to myself "God damn that sounds a lot like Stairway to Heaven". Nice try....
"Led Zeppelin Accused of Plagiarism"
...... And????
"And in other news, the prime minister of sweden visited washington today and my tiny little nipples went to france"
This band has a track record of ripping other musicians off, no surprise here.
Digging: Emery - You Were Never Alone
Ok for all idiots in this thread: the stairway opening riff is extremely simple and was used by many artists, there are some similarities, but thats it, no plagiarism there AND more importantly all the blues interpretations LZ did aren't rip offs!!!!!!! for the last fucking time :D those classic blues songs are common property with the original artists unknown. it is totally legitimate among the blues community to play older songs, you don't cover it, you do a new interpretation.
white people from the 60's playing blues accused of plagiarism?
did I miss something?
I thought with composition only the melody of a song was copyrighted (there's like 4 other copyrights in a single recorded work or something I can't really remember), as it is the most recognisable section of a song. Stairway To Heaven with different vocal melodies, is a different song; Stairway To Heaven with a different intro, or instrumentation, is still stairway to heaven. The same way the Men At Work drummer wanted songwriting credits for writing the drums to 'I come from the land down under', but the judged ruled that he could go and get fucked instead, because the drums are not integral and the song would at least melodically be the same with or without him. Obviously this riff is important to the song, but this is almost tantamount to someone hearing a triangle getting thrashed in this piece, and yelling out plagiarism because they fucked around on it first.
^ tl;dr
AND more importantly all the blues interpretations LZ did aren't rip offs!!!!!!! for the last fucking time :D those classic blues songs are common property with the original artists unknown.
"This is only true of traditionals, which many of the songs that Zep were accused of stealing from aren't."
that's true but the whole plagiarism thing has been blown out of proportion for decades. take custard pie for instance. yeah some of the lyrics are taken from bukka white but it's not like all of them are. i mean i've never heard anyone blasting clutch for stealing from blind willie johnson even though fallon used some of his lyrics.
I like both songs.
Jimmy Page is gay anyways Jason Becker for life.
Good God, some of you fan boys....
I'm more of Spirit fanboy than a Zep one tbh.

Changes in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of a 45 nm thick gold film thermally evaporated onto one face of a BK7 glass prism, have been used to detect nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The intensity of the reflected light decreases linearly with the concentration of gas, the change being 0.1%, per 1 ppm of NO2 with a response time of ~30 s for adsorption and 30-40 s for desorption. The process is highly selective and other gases, e.g. NH3, H2, CO, CO2, SO2, HCl, C12 and H2S, have little or no noticeable effect on the SPR at concentrations of 100 ppm. It is also reversible by flushing with air and the NO2 sensor showed only a 10% deterioration in the SPR response after 1500 adsorption/desorption cycles

Amidst The Prognation tour that is going on with 3, BTBAM, Opeth, and Dream Theater, Opeth will be headlining their own show here in Toronto on May 24th at the Sound Academy. Never seen these guys Live before, so this should be an amazing experience. I've only seen bootleg live videos on Youtube, and they should even better live than their studio albums. The 2 bands that will be opening for Opeth are 3 and Deathmarch.
3 seems to be getting a lot of praise throughout the forums I mainly check out. I've heard 1 song from them and it didn't really peak my interest so I just diverted my attention to something else. After hearing how good they are from the prognation tour, I'm intrigued how they will perform when opening for Opeth. As for Deathmarch, I have never heard of these guys before, I guess I'll see what they're made of come this Saturday.
Opeth's latest album "Watershed" which is scheduled to come out June 3rd has already been leaked last month. I obviously couldn't resist and I checked it out. I think its a brilliant album, but not their best. Their new drummer and guitarist have slightly influenced the band, and you can tell if you're an Opeth fan. That doesn't mean its a bad thing though, its different yet it still has that unique Opeth feel to it. Hopefully they will perform some of their new songs during their headlining shows.
For anyone that is actually reading this (which I doubt), if you like metal and don't mind the cookie monster vocals now and then, check out Opeth!

A War Hero and an Antiwar Hero
Published: August 15, 2004
(Page 2 of 2)
The Globe's group-grope demonstrates that Kerry's Janus-like manner is not new. In 1982 he was running for lieutenant governor of Massachusetts. Two men, Michael S. Dukakis and Edward J. King, were vying for the gubernatorial nomination, and at the endorsement convention that year Kerry's staff had two sets of buttons printed, reading ''Dukakis/Kerry'' and ''King/Kerry,'' to demonstrate their man's utter readiness to serve the ticket. (This reminds me of Albert Brooks in ''Taxi Driver,'' indignantly declining to pay for buttons that say ''We Are the People'' instead of ''We Are the People.'') In an otherwise soporific rehash of Kerry's early struggles in Bay State politics, the book does contain some intriguing anecdotes about dirty tricks allegedly committed by Cameron Kerry, the senator's younger brother. How fascinating to think that the well-bred nominee may have an embarrassing sibling, with the promise of popular amusement à la Billy Carter or Roger Clinton.
It was only when he got to the Senate that Kerry was able to break free of such parochialism and refight his Vietnam battles. During the early 1970's, Nixon's own dirty tricksters had paid him flattering attention, as the Watergate tapes have shown. ''Let's destroy this young demagogue before he becomes another Ralph Nader,'' Charles Colson wrote, with a mixture of prescience and paranoia, to a fellow White House aide. Over a decade later, in confronting the uniformed and bemedaled figure of Oliver North, who really could have been his evil twin from Vietnam, Kerry came close to unmasking yet another secret Republican state-within-a-state. I vividly remember the way in which his Senate office and then his subcommittee became the clearinghouse for a whole series of seemingly unbelievable rumors about the Iran-contra connection, most of which turned out to be true. And much credit belongs to Kerry for winnowing out the genuine stuff, about drug running and death squads and slush funds and secret deals with foreign dictatorships, from the conspiratorial garbage. He had played a similar role in the Vietnam veterans' movement, keeping the Pol Potists in their place at the admitted cost of some rhetorical excess on his own part. Two-sidedness has its uses.
EVENTUALLY, having minutely investigated the rumors and hoaxes that constituted the remnant of the P.O.W./M.I.A. case, John Kerry and John McCain were able to flank President Clinton in 1995 as he declared the resumption of diplomatic relations with Vietnam. Kerry's feeling of solidarity with McCain is one of the few human notes in his otherwise abysmal campaign book, which is replete with ''hold it right there'' remarks like ''I'm proud that Business Week magazine named me one of its Digital Dozen'' or ''Part of what excites me about a new strategy for renewable energy sources. . . .'' When was the last time a candidate turned to his own party for a running mate only after exhausting the possibility of choosing a man from the opposing team? That this ''Indecision 2004'' episode has eventuated in the selection of John Edwards -- whose own sprightly and punchy campaign biography was co-written, in another first, by a distinguished scholar of Henry James -- speaks well for Kerry, albeit in yet another ambivalent way.
But wasn't there some other Democratic war veteran on whom he ought to have called, if the man is to be a heartbeat away from the position of commander in chief? To hear Kerry speak in Boston, you could draw the conclusion that past military service is not just a good qualification for the presidency, but the equivalent of a necessary condition. If this is true now, why was it not so true in 1996 or 1992?
In the same speech where King Henry V refers to his ''band of brothers'' -- ''we few, we happy few'' -- he also lampoons the way in which veterans become bores and blowhards in later life: ''But he'll remember with advantages / What feats he did that day.'' This does not apply only to soldiering. From the podium in Boston, and by an astute deployment of the ''we'' pronoun instead of the ''I,'' Kerry managed to suggest that he had been part of the ''we'' who marched for civil rights. As the Boston Globe truth-squadders point out, he has tried this before. In his 1984 Senate race, he gave out a flier that began, ''Ever since I worked as a young volunteer in John Kennedy's presidential campaign,'' and that further claimed, ''Back then, I joined the struggle for voting rights in the South.'' Neither boast has the merit of literal truth. Kerry may not have taken part in the 1960 election at all, and has since had to admit that the most he could have done for the Freedom Ride buses was to give them a cheering wave as they set off. Though this may have signaled that ''help is on the way,'' it was not exactly ''reporting for duty.''
I had not known until I read these books that Kerry had had his first marriage annulled, signifying in effect that he was never wed to Julia Thorne, the mother of his children, in the first place. How odd that he would invoke one of the Roman Catholic Church's most pitiless dogmas while treating so many of its other teachings as essentially optional. The general effect he has striven to create is the opposite: that of a man who dislikes ruthlessness. After all, Kerry is against the death penalty, except in cases where the perpetrator has done something really heinous or unpopular. And he stopped saying ''Bring it on'' when he realized it made him sound ridiculous. But here may be the inescapable contradiction. When he voted against the MX missile and the Star Wars program, he was opposing the arms race and the implied ''first strike'' doctrine. But when he voted against the precision-guided weapons -- like the Apache helicopter and the Patriot missile -- that have helped make possible the relatively bloodless removal of aggressive despotisms, he was failing to see that the Pentagon, too, had assimilated some of the important lessons of Vietnam.
He still gives, to me at any rate, the impression of someone who sincerely wishes that this were not a time of war. When critical votes on the question come up, Kerry always looks like a dog being washed. John McCain was not like this, when a president he despised felt it necessary to go into Kosovo. We are looking at a man who would make, or would have made, a perfectly decent peacetime president.

At the upcoming IBC2008 conference, Zaxcom will unveil its Fusion high-resolution audio mixer and recorder, which is optimized for use in reality television, surround recording and ENG applications. It replaces the multiple mixers and portable recorders that normally would be required to support mixing and recording of audio to camera via RF link or hardwired cable. The unit can be used to mix together 16 inputs to eight output busses for recording up to eight tracks.
Fusion does not include a hard drive, which cuts down on weight and power consumption and also removes concerns of hard drive damage from extreme temperatures or motion. The system records to two CompactFlash cards simultaneously, providing solid-state recording that is both redundant and flexible.
With the Fusion's DSP-based audio tools, users can adjust more than 300 mixer crosspoints and 200 controllable parameters. Four balanced AES inputs with sample rate conversion allow eight channels of audio to come from four different devices with varying sample rates or unlocked sample rate clocks. The Fusion also provides an effects package.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Didi Gregorius off to hot start with Triple-A Reno
Relegated to the minors, Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Didi Gregorius has been on fire in his first 13 games with Triple-A Reno.
After hitting .252 with a .332 on-base percentage in 103 games with the Diamondbacks in 2013, Gregorius entered spring training in a position battle at shortstop with prospect Chris Owings, last season's Pacific Coast League MVP. The 24-year-old struggled in spring training, hitting just .222 with four RBI and two doubles.
Both Owings and Gregorius got a start in the Diamondbacks' two-game series versus the Los Angeles Dodgers in Sydney, Australia, but Owings came away the eventual victor in the shortstop battle, prompting general manager Kevin Towers to option the Cura�ao native Gregorius to Reno.
In 13 games and 48 at-bats with the Aces, Gregorius is hitting .354 with six extra-base hits, five RBI and an on-base-plus-slugging clip of .968. Owings, meanwhile, is faring nearly as well at the plate at the major league level, logging a .320 batting average and a .370 on-base percentage with four stolen bases.
It should be noted that Reno's circuit, the Pacific Coast League, is renowned as a hitter's league. And Aces ballpark itself is considered one of the better hitter's parks in the minor leagues, due to its high elevation of 4,400 feet. Only Coors Field sits at a higher elevation than Reno's home field among major league venues. Nine of Gregorius' first 13 games of the season have been played at Aces Ballpark.
Gregorius has also seen time defensively at second base with the Aces, per an organizational initiative to diversify his defensive competency. Nick Ahmed, a prospect making his way through the ranks since being traded to the Diamondbacks by the Atlanta Braves in 2012, has gotten the majority of the reps at shortstop, with eight of Gregorius' first 13 defensive appearances coming at second base.

Temecula HotelsLiving the good life in Southern California's sunbaked Wine County, Temecula certainly abides by the philosophy that 'a day without wine is like a day without sunshine'. Home to over 30 wineries, the sprawling scenery is manicured with acres of attractive vineyard. A haven for Californian styled R&R, here you can take it easy on a golf green, lay back and be pampered in a spa, or be taken to new heights in a colorful hot air balloon. Whatever you're here for, Temecula always leaves a pleasant taste.Things to seeWhether you're a discerning connoisseur or just like what you like, you'll love the vineyards and wineries of Temecula Valley. Wilson Creek Winery is a 20-acre family estate wrapped in elegant floral gardens. Here you can sample their most popular tipples, which include the almond champagne and the devilishly indulgent chocolate port. With lush landscape views and 300-acres of vineyards, Ponte Winery is a small boutique producer. With a farmhouse style tasting room and al fresco restaurant, guests can enjoy an expert picked pairing to accompany their seasonal dish. The French chateau-styled Thornton Winery utilizes a process known as 'Méthode Champenoise' to produce their sparkling wines. Awash with old world charm, the sun-drenched fountain patio plays host to intimate jazz concerts. Having produced award winning wines since 1969, The Rancho Palomar Winery certainly knows their grapes. With tasting bars and a Mediterranean bistro, the picturesque winery and vineyards boast stunning valley vistas. Hotels in TemeculaWhether you prefer homely charm in a B&B or champagne facials at a spa retreat, there are hotels in Temecula to suit every purse and whim. Luxury accommodation ranges from winery estates to golf resorts, all laden with unmistakably Californian opulence. Refreshing pools, spas, and trickling fountains adorn floral grounds, whilst sumptuous suites come kitted out with the likes of Egyptian cotton sheets, large televisions, and designer toiletries. The mid-range hotels are similarly guised and generous, providing you with every amenity under the sun, along with a few pampering extras to boot. Cheap hotels in Temecula are in great supply, and come as chain name motels and independent digs.Where to stayWith a hotel in Temecula, natural beauty, vibrant culture and modern convenience are never far away. If you want to veer away from the city buzz however, rural respite can be sought in Fallbrook. A 14-mile drive south west of Temecula, the sunny village is surrounded by rolling hills, flowery fields and shady oak trees. Famous for its avocados and art scene, it's just 18-miles from the glittering warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. North east of Temecula, the city of Hemet also moves at a slower pace. Popular amongst the retired and urban evacuees, the city's main claim to fame is the annual Ramona Pageant.How to get to TemeculaLocated 60 miles south of Temecula, San Diego International Airport is the city's nearest gateway. With direct flights to and from major destinations all around the world, it's also the best connected. Once you've landed getting into Temecula is best done by car rental along Interstate 15, or by shuttle transfer. Depending on traffic, the journey usually takes just over an hour.
