The Livermore Valley Wineries on Twitter

The Livermore valley wineries are fast discovering Twitter, the free social networking site that allows users to send 140-character "tweets," or text-only posts. The first Livermore valley winery I encountered on Twitter was Tenuta Vineyards. Recently I discovered several more, including Bent Creek Winery, Cuda Ridge Wines, Deer Ridge Vineyards, Elliston Vineyards, La Rochelle Winery, McGrail Vineyards, Ruby Hill Winery, The Steven Kent Winery, and Wente Vineyards.

So what are these winemakers tweeting about? Elliston Vineyards is still taking reservations for their March 13th Winetaster Dinner. La Rochelle Winery reports that a rainy Friday was made brighter by awesome guests and club members! Ruby Hill Winery tweeted about their exclusive wine club, The Gem Society. Tenuta Vineyards just released a 2006 Chardonnay Port, and they're offering barrel tastings of wine that has been stored in oak for over two years. At The Steven Kent Winery, the cheese of the moment in the barrel room is Beemster XO. Next up is goat cheese. Yes, wine is included in the cheese tasting! At Wente Vineyards, the concierge recommends a daycation at the tasting room.
