The 2017 vintage is shaping up nicely. While the big purple grapes and full vines are what you see most “Wine Country” pictures feature, there is so much more to the life-cycle of a vine (and in turn, your bottle of wine). At each step, our winemakers, vintners, and growers, are out in the vineyards tending to and nurturing the grapes and vines. Let’s take a look at what our Livermore Valley vineyards looked like through 2017 with photos from Merridith Robertson. Read More

The holidays are here! My favorite time of year to give gifts to everyone I am thankful for. While Black Friday has passed, my favorite time to get holiday shopping done is at Holidays in the Vineyards! The event always happens the first weekend in December, the wineries put together a ton of fun wine specials, make sure their shelves are stocked with gifts for me to take home, and they always have THE BEST vendors!

Who else is already working on planning their Thanksgiving menu? I am, I am!

I had the turkey, the sweet potatoes and the vegetables all squared away, but got a little stuck on dessert… I wanted something fun, but traditional.

She suggested a fun and easy crowd-pleaser, so I asked her if I could share it with all of you! Check out her recipe and video below for Mini Bite-Sized Pumpkin Pie and if you need some suggestions for wine pairings, be sure to check out this video from a few years back. Read More
