"Look out Napa - here comes the Livermore Valley."
- W. Blake Gray, San Francisco Chronicle - July 15, 2004

"With Livermore less crowded…the winery staff has more time to talk about the wine. With six more wineries expected to open by yearend, I'll be steering more visitors there in the coming months."
- Cliff Edwards, BusinessWeek - August 9, 2004

"…Livermore is an increasingly pleasant option for daytrippers and other visitors who don't feel like enduring the slog that a trip to Napa can often entail."
- Jon Bonné, MSNBC Online - September 22, 2004

"Long overlooked, this cradle of California viticulture has been a well kept secret for decades. Visitors are pampered with big-time amenities and small-town hospitality and warmth."
- Linda Watanabe McFerrin, Here Comes the Guide - Spring 2005

"Livermore, that's wine country, isn't it?!"
