Wente Vineyards
In 1883 Carl H. Wente purchased 47 acres of land in the Livermore Valley, this purchase is the foundation of a wine making legacy that has spanned over a hundred years. In 1912 Ernest Wente imported Chardonnay cuttings from the vines of Montpeller, France. Along with sourced cuttings from Pleasanton he developed a hybrid that is today known as the Wente Clone.
In 1936 Wente introduced the first varietal Pinot Chardonnay putting California wines on the map of world class wines. Hermann Wente determined to make California a wine making region as respected as the older vineyards of Europe is a leading voice in founding the California Wine Institute.
By 1949 the 3rd generation of the Wente family is now a major force in California Wine making. Karl L. Wente takes the family winery to the next level by expanding its national distribution and laying the groundwork for international distribution. Dedicated to California vineyards and proud of its wines, Karl L. Wente becomes a spokesperson for California wine, assisting in the establishment of wineries throughout the region.
By 1963 Karl, expands to Monterey as a pioneer in the Arroyo Secco wine growing region which he finds has a long, cool growing season perfect for the varietals Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Monterey expansion is embraced by the 4th generation of the Wente Family as Eric, Phillip and Carolyn Wente take control expanding both the Livermore Valley and Arroyo appellations.
In 1986 The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards opens pairing great food and California wines in an expansion of both the winery operations and an appreciation for California wines. The Wente Family lays the foundation for wine tourism with the introduction of the Concerts at Wente Vineyards, an annual series of concerts that attracts thousands of guests as well as top named entertainers.
Laying the groundwork for the 5th, 6th and future generations of California winemaking the Wente Family expanded international distribution to over 75 countries. The Wente Vineyards, now in its 136th year, welcomes guests to its famed restaurant, private events, golf course and wine tastings.
The Wente Family is dedicated to sustainably continuing the expansion of the California Wine Industry as well as expanding knowledge of soil, water, land conservation in conjunction with introducing innovative methods of grass management for cattle. One of the first vineyards to establish cork recycling, the Wente Family has now introduced an Organic Olive Grove to their plans for sustainable agriculture in the wine country of California.
The amazing history of California wine making can be explored at the Wente Vineyards, 5565 Telsa Road, Livermore, Ca. 925-456-2305. Wine tastings are held daily Mon-Sun – 11 AM -5:30 PM.
Murrieta’s Well
An exclusive estate vineyard Murrieta’s Well is one of California’s oldest wineries. Located at 3005 Mines Road, Livermore, California this historic wine estate began growing grapes from cuttings of famed vines from France. Louis Mel purchased the land that is today Murrieta’s Well in 1884. He built a gravity flow winery with imported grapes from Chateau d’Yquem and Chateau Margaux. Descendants of these original cuttings still grow on the Murrieta’s Well estate, while the original gravity flow winery building serves as a tasting room.
The second family to till these vineyards was the Wente family, an original California wine making family. Ernest Wente bought the land from his fellow wine maker Louis Mel in 1933, the land, vineyards and winery has been under the control of the Wente Family since that day.
In 1990 Philip Wente with partner Sergio Traverso revitalized the winery, its vineyards, vintages, labels, buildings and name. Paying homage to the history of the property, the estate was renamed Murrieta’s Well.
Today the estate vineyards are under the watchful eye of wine maker Robbie Meyer who utilizes the diversity of the micro climates that this large vineyard encompasses in the Livermore Valley. Soil textures, nutrients, elevation, sun exposure and day and night temperature variations within the 5 sub vineyards create ideal conditions for a variety of wines.
As an exclusive wine estate Murrieta’s Well public visits are by reservation only. The winery plays host to private events, special events and a wine club. Visitors with reservations are welcomed to the estate Wednesday and Thursday 12-5 PM, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 11 AM to 5PM. Reservations are available at 925-456-2395. Tastings, tours and experiences accommodate a limited number of guests, again you must have a reservation to enter the Murrieta’s Well property.

Suspense: The X-Ray Camera / Subway / Dream Song
The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, Backseat Driver, which originally aired February 3, 1949.
The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. At the time he took over Suspense, Lewis was familiar to radio fans for playing Frankie Remley, the wastrel guitar-playing sidekick to Phil Harris in The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. On the May 10, 1951 Suspense, Lewis reversed the roles with Death on My Hands: A bandleader (Harris) is horrified when an autograph-seeking fan accidentally shoots herself and dies in his hotel room, and a vocalist (Faye) tries to help him as the townfolk call for vigilante justice against him.
With the rise of television and the departures of Lewis and Autolite, subsequent producers (Antony Ellis, William N. Robson and others) struggled to maintain the series despite shrinking budgets, the availability of fewer name actors, and listenership decline. To save money, the program frequently used scripts first broadcast by another noteworthy CBS anthology, Escape. In addition to these tales of exotic adventure, Suspense expanded its repertoire to include more science fiction and supernatural content. By the end of its run, the series was remaking scripts from the long-canceled program The Mysterious Traveler. A time travel tale like Robert Arthur's The Man Who Went Back to Save Lincoln or a thriller about a death ray-wielding mad scientist would alternate with more run-of-the-mill crime dramas.
