Barrel Tasting <strong>Week</strong>end at Livermore Valley <strong>Wine</strong>ries<br />

Livermore Valley <strong>Wine</strong>growers Host<br />

Third Annual Barrel Tasting <strong>Week</strong>end March 19-20<br />

More than 30 Livermore Valley wineries will offer samples of<br />

wines still in development – direct from their barrels – during the<br />

region’s third annual Barrel Tasting <strong>Week</strong>end. Guests with special<br />

event wristbands and official tasting glasses will receive at least one<br />

barrel sample at each participating winery. Many winemakers will be<br />

present to personally pour and discuss their young wines and offer<br />

delicious pairings with gourmet appetizers, artisan cheeses, chocolate<br />

and nuts.<br />

Barrel tasting provides wine enthusiasts of all experience levels<br />

with a fun “snapshot” of how wine evolves—from grape to glass.<br />

Guests will have the opportunity to pre-purchase some of the barrel<br />

wines at a discount, before they are bottled and released to the public<br />

(a practice known as buying “futures”). More than a dozen different<br />

varietals, including the rare Primitivo and Alicante Bouschet and<br />

ever-popular Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, will be offered<br />

for tasting across the region.<br />

Barrel Tasting <strong>Week</strong>end takes place Saturday, March 19 and<br />

Sunday, March 20, from noon to 4:30 p.m. each day at more than 30<br />

participating Livermore Valley wineries located in the East Bay Area<br />

of Northern California (less than one hour from San Francisco)<br />

Cost for the event is $30 per person when purchased online at<br />

www.LVwine.org by March 18. $35 per person at any participating<br />

winery during the event. Price includes a take home glass with the<br />

Livermore Valley <strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Country</strong> Logo, two days of barrel tasting at<br />

each participating winery on Saturday and Sunday, special activities<br />

and wine discounts, and a Barrel Tasting <strong>Week</strong>end map which<br />

includes all wineries that are participating in the Barrel Tasting<br />

weekend.<br />
