Giving the Gift of Good Wine
The First Street Wine Company in downtown Livermore offers bottles for every holiday budget.
The holiday party season is in full swing and if trying to find the perfect wine makes you more of a Grinch than a giver, fear not. We have some great local wines that won't break the bank.
In this week's Wine Wednesdays, Livermore Patch's Monique Soltani heads to The First Street Wine Company in downtown Livermore and gets to the bottom of the best bottles for any holiday budget.

Thomas Coyne's Mourvédre is my favorite from the Livermore wineries. It's available in Blacksmith Square at their store. I've given it to people, and have received it as a gift too. Maybe I'll get a bottle for Christmas this year too. Yum.

Hi Monique--Love our Valley! Love our wines! Love that you are reporting for Christmas--and you can still wear a summer top! Gotta' love this California weather...but not today---rain, rain, go away--come back when we need you for the grapes!
My fave wine for this Christmas is one of the Club wines at Ruby Hill Winery--Intesa! (Cab/Barbera blend--yummy :-).
Monique--love your weekly updates promoting our Valley Vineyards. So happy that Patch is finally here in Livermore.
