Grape Expectations The Livermore Valley, just forty-five miles east of San Francisco and home to over forty wineries, is a burgeoning wine country. Though the Valley has been home to winemakers for over a century, its establishments have been climbing into the larger fold of California wineries only within the last few decades. While Napa and Sonoma Counties seemed to rush the scene in the 1960s with award-winning California flavors, the Livermore Valley has been a little slower in gaining a name. Perhaps it has to do with Livermore’s past as a cowboy and rodeo town, its laidback and country attitude. Or maybe it’s the less competitive and more neighborly edge the winemakers and winery owners bring to the tasting table.
