Volunteers in the Livermore Wine Country bring back the Livermore Fireworks

Yes, I normally write about wine.  Today I will still write about wine. Don't let the title fool you.

I recently found out about an offer from an online Livermore coupon company. They are offering a coupon for $12 for $24 to spend at En Garde Winery in the Livermore Valley.

En Garde is one of the newest wineries in Livermore. En Garde opened their tasting room late summer of 2011.  They really made a splash at the San Francisco International Wine Competition. They won a Double Gold Medal for their 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve - Diamond Mountain - Napa Valley.

One of great things about this coupon offer is that a portion of the proceeds go to the LARPD Foundation Livermore Fireworks.


The city of Livermore had to cancel the fireworks last year due to budget constraints. This year a group of committed volunteers have gotten together to raise funds for the fireworks event.  They will have a fundraising event in March.
