Bent Creek Winery, Livermore

Bent Creek is in a beautiful location. The staff are all so welcoming and attentive. The wine was enjoyable, but some that I wanted to like didn't do much for me. I would definitely go back and try another tasting when the list changes.

Apart from the tranquil vibe, welcoming host, and unpretentious ambiance, the wines are delicious and you'll most likely be taking a couple bottles home. Fair warning, you'll likely forget about the big label wineries you might have stopped at on the way. We liked all the wines we tasted here, especially the Red on red blend, petit syrah, and Zin port. We ended up buying a few bottles here and joined the wine club. The Red on Red didn't taste quite the same as it did at the winery, which was puzzling. Sue our host was great! She was welcoming, friendly and encouraged us to take our time, which we enjoyed on a quiet Friday.
