Livermore Valley’s take on a quintessential California wine grape
There is a briskness in the air as fall marches on and it’s the perfect time to spice things up in wine country. In November, Livermore Valley highlights Zinfandel as the featured varietal. This bold and classic varietal is the number one planted grape in California.
The primary flavors include jam, blueberry, cherry, plum, boysenberry, cranberry and licorice. Other aromas you may be able to pick out are black pepper, black cardamom and anise. Tannins and acid are generally medium to medium high.
Congratulations to the winners of Thursday night’s Annual Quest for Pairing Excellence and thank you to everyone who participated! Let’s not delay… here are the winners who make your cooking look like it needs improvement, or is that just me?

You may have heard that California has a bit of a drought situation going on. With Earth Day right around the corner, I thought it’d be the perfect time to get Down to Earth with a few fun activities:
Tasting wine from a barrel is a rare opportunity that anyone can step out of the role of wine taster and peek into what it is to be a winemaker. Winemakers taste from the barrel not only to check if it is ready for bottling, but also to make sure nothing is spoiled, or when they are considering which wines to blend together.
Rumor has it that beer and football are the perfect pair, but have you ever thought about how football and wine tasting are similar? I know, it sounds ludicrous! One features pads, balls, and wrestling on a field while the other is the essence of class and sophistication, but hear me out.
We are proud to announce that the fabulous Livermore Valley wineries won a total of 136 medals at this year’s San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition! This is a true testament to the hard work that our winemakers put in and the quality of the wine that they are creating. Find the complete list below and be sure to come taste what’s in store for Livermore Valley wines at our Barrel Tasting Weekend.
