Pinnacle Restaurant Opens


at Falkner Winery

(TEMECULA, CA) – The expansion that began a year ago, bore fruit this month as Falkner Winery’s new restaurant, The Pinnacle opened over the Labor Day Weekend.

The Pinnacle’s goal is to surprise guests with reasonably priced food, a nice selection of wines by the glass, and a great Temecula wine country view (served to aid the digestion). The menu will include everything from Ahi appetizers to Black Angus cheeseburgers, to Mediterranean Shrimp with penne.

Chefs E. Dennis van Rumund (Executive Chef) and Cory Chung (Chef de Cuisine) both have prestigious resumes and excellent reputations. Chef Dennis is from the Netherlands and graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Chef Chung has more than 20 years of culinary experience beginning with his training in Culinary Arts at the Kapiolani College in Honolulu. Most recently he was Executive Chef at California Center for the Arts in Escondido.

Falkner Winery is located in the friendly Temecula Valley Wine Country. Opening in July 2000, the winery is known for its diverse wines, unique gift shop, free jazz on Sundays, wine tasting classes, and private venues such as parties and weddings.
