Livermore Valley Wine Country Rumors - or Maybe not.

Where to begin? 

Tamas Estate label will be consumed by Wente Vineyards. 

Mitchell Katz will be leaving it's current location by the end of the year and may have a location on North Livermore Ave. 

White Crane Winery has a new owner and will undoubtedly have a new name.  The Three Steves will take residency in the White Crane Winery.  I'm sure they will hang shingle with their own name on it.  Some say what goes around comes around.

Cedar Mountain Winery is up for sale.

The original wine country is going through some changes.  Stay tuned.

 

Looks like the Livermore Fireworks committee pulled it off.  They brought  back the Livermore fireworks. They get a high five from me. http://livermorefireworks.org






 The committee named Nottingham Cellars as the featured winery for the event.  Available for purchase was 2011 Chardonnay and a non-vintage red blend, appropriately named Rocket Red.

I don't normally write about other beverages than wine, however it is worth noting that the new Livermore brewery. The first one since the eighteenth amendment to the constitution in 1920 prohibiting alcohol sales and transport. Altamont Beer Works brewed three beers for this event, Left Coast Session, Shelter IPA, and Birra Bianco. The beer was definitely a hit. http://altamontbeerworks.com

Congratulations to the Livermore Fireworks Committee.
