Page Mill Winery in Livermore Valley is the very definition of an Underground Winery, but you’ll learn about that when listening to this podcast. Proprietor Dane Stark got his start making wine with his father as a family run winery, later making the Valley his home. Passion runs strong in Livermore making it in my mind, an undiscovered country. Once you try these wines you will no doubt want to try more.

It is often said that making wine is art, that’s very true. Darcie Kent Vineyards represents the art of wine as well as visual art, created by the owner. Watching our video you’ll see several examples of Darcie’s beautiful work that visitors get to enjoy while tasting Winemaker Julian Halasz’s wine. The interview features both Darcie and Julian and was a total joy to experience. I suggest a visit to Livermore Valley is to discover many forms of art.

I’ve been lucky to interview David Ramey of Ramey Wine Cellars a few times over the years and each time has been an entertaining education. Humor and wine flow together when talking with David and I always walk away with a huge smile on my face. Honored by the industry, respected by fellow winemakers and loved by wine fans, David is simply, one of a kind.

Having tasted several of the wines from Livermore Valley I can not overstate just how very good they are! Pruett Farms sits right in the middle of Livermore and yet it is a farm like any other…except that Bob Pruett makes excellent wine. The tasting room is intimate and welcoming and having just had its informal opening the day before my visit. Bob is the smiling face of the label and I strongly suggest you check out these wines before the rest of the world discovers them.
