OCCASIO WINERY                                     SIDEWINDER LOUNGE & SPIRITS                     

Picture
 From the beginning, Livermore had been noted for producing some of the finest Bordeaux wines in the world. However, by the end of the last century, two large wine companies dominated the region; there was little to be excited about in the wines. I felt driven to rediscover the fabled Livermore Valley. Occasio was founded in 2007. Named for the Roman Goddess of Opportunity, she comes in an instant, and then is gone forever. Knowing that my greatest regrets were for opportunities not taken, I felt this was a defining name for a winery. My passion is to produce fine wine, but with an emphasis on a style unique to Livermore Valley alone. Not Napa, nor Paso, but Livermore Valley. I’m dedicating my craft to preserve and nurture the Heritage varietals of the Valley.

Our trademark application for Sidewinder Spirits Company has been granted, and is now approved for our use in the manufacture of spirits.  Work is proceeding at our new facility on Research as we make it ready to receive our barrels of brandy
and whisky for aging. The adjacent structure, the old Thomas Coyne tasting room, is being redesigned as a private tasting lounge for our members. We have contracted with artist Joe Raineri for the design of the new lounge, which will be used to showcase our handcrafted wines and spirits. As with everything we do, all of the materials used in construction have been chosen to tell a story of Livermore Valley, and of the secret years of prohibition. It will be a lounge like none other.
