Bottle Your Own

Bottle Your Own - This weekend
We are hosting a fun event this weekend. We have one barrel that John Evan has blended that is Cabernet, with some Petite Sirah, and is available this coming weekend to bottle yourself. This event is super-fun because you can come in, try the blend that John Evan made, and then bottle a case, a few cases or a bottle or two. Its fun and you get a chance to see what its like to fill, cork and label a case or two of wine. If you don’t want to get dirty, we'll bottle it for you. This is a yummy barrel and is available for $120/case, ($95 for club members) or $14/bottle. 2-5 cases are $95/each ($85 for club members). We'll bottle up what left and sell it for a lot more than this.

John Evan-Celebrity Winemaker featured at the PourHouse in Livermore on Wednesday 6:30-8:30
Joh Evan will be Shucking and Jiving at the Pour House in downtown Livermore on Wednesday. If you haven't been to this downtown hotspot, you'll get a sense of the cool future of downtown Livermore. We aren't quite sure exactly what our boy wonder is going to roll out at this event but it will be a fun chance to see the John Evan wines in a cool wine and food-pairing downtown setting.

Before Harvest Trailer

This Saturday, March 6 at 4:30 PM, the World Premiere of the short film “Before Harvest” will be screened at Livermore Cinema. Audra Arnaudon wrote, produced and directed the film as her senior project at NYU school of film and it was filmed in Livermore, much of it at Big White House winery. Laura Marion stars as the teenager who is trying to determine whether to leave for college or stay and run the family winery (sound familiar?). The film is 20 minutes.

The screening is at Livermore Cinema at First and Maple. We only have 30 minutes in the theater so please arrive by 4:30. We will gather in the lobby. The screening at the theater will be followed by a reception at the winery 5:30-7:30. Wine, snacks, conviviality and a few more rounds through the film plus some surprise little video treats. Please join us for both the screening and the reception.

John the Elder’s Art Deco Estate Jewelry at the Winery

Did you know John the Elder has been a diamond expert for 32 years? Pieces from his collection of Art Noveau and Art Deco Estate Jewelry, mostly diamond rings set in gold or platinum, are for sale at the Winery. Many of these pieces were purchased when John was actively trading during college and are really good prices. In addition, colored gemstones and other rings are on sale. Consider looking here first if you are looking for a special gift or an engagement ring. His collection is removed nightly to prevent theft.
