If you want to go wine-tasting without all the yuppie frills, check out Thomas Coyne Winery in Livermore. The people who pour the wine have a cheerful, "just folks" vibe that makes you want to hang out and chat for hours. The winery itself is rustic and farmlike, with sheep grazing in a nearby field and a big, rough picnic table outside, perfect for a lunch stop. Plus, the wine is excellent! Don't miss this sweet little local favorite.
