The Livemore Valley wine community was performing its annual blessing of the grapes Wednesday, with the hope this year's harvest will be a good one.
This year's harvest will be the first since California's long drought ended, and one Livermore Valley winemaker says the vintage looks promising for a number of reasons, including the historic winter storms.
The blessing of the grapes takes place at Las Positas Vineyards from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.lvwine.org.
