A Skeptic's Guide to Canned Wine

Wine is so often synonymous with luxury, snobbery, showmanship... but those aren’t the things I love about wine. I love the story, the people, the way it brings humans together over a good glass. So I had to ask myself... could there not a place for canned wine in my life?

The Tri-Valley is the coolest place you’ve never heard of… yet. Comprised of three valleys that come together (hence the name), this area features the cities of Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, and the sweet little town of Danville. There’s the historic wine region— Livermore Valley AVA, charming breweries and pubs along their beer trail, even an ice-cream trail.

I want you (yes YOU) to stop drinking shitty wine. 

The world of wine tends to be secretive... I mean, there's not even an ingredient label on your wine bottle. 
You probably assume it's just grapes, right? Unfortunately, your grocery store go-to wine could have up to 75 ingredients other than grapes.
