![]() ![]() My family moved to the East Coast right after graduation. Back then, there were fewer wineries in the Livermore Valley, and the scenery was magnificent. We regularly ran from Granada High School out to either the Concannon Winery (about a three-mile round trip route) or the Wente Winery (about a nine-mile round trip route). I met a lot of people by running cross-country and track. When I asked questions about these completely foreign concepts, my California born and bred classmates acted like I was from another planet.Īt first, it was hard to make friends with kids who had known each other since elementary school. There’s also a good chance my hair wasn’t big enough. I had no clue what MTV was, and I’d never eaten frozen yogurt. ![]() Because I had been living abroad for more than three years (and Al Gore hadn’t invented the Internet yet), I was clueless about the life of an American teenager. We moved in the middle of my freshman year of high school, and it sucked. If you’re not familiar with Livermore, it’s about 40 miles directly east of San Francisco, a great starting point for driving the Pacific Coast Highway. Wait, isn’t this article supposed to be about wine?Ī long time ago, in a year that started with a “1,” my family moved from the Netherlands to Livermore, California. Moving 5,500 miles across an ocean in high school is reallyrough. Please note that I always share my honest opinions no matter who is footing the bill. Tough job, I know, but I wanted to conduct thorough research and pass along the best advice possible. I paid full price to visit the Livermore Valley Wineries below and taste their amazing wines. Learn why and get recommendations from locals. While the Napa Valley and Sonoma County wine regions of California are household names, I am partial to the lesser-known (yet still amazing) Livermore Valley wineries. ![]()
