As the Bay Area sees the last round of rain for the next week or so, winemakers in Livermore say these recent rains are helping their grapevines to the point where they could break production records.

"This is another Petit Verdot vine here," says Larry Dino as he walks through his vines. Dino is the owner and winemaker of Cuda Ridge Wines in Livermore. He named his 15-year-old midsized winery after one of his prized possessions: his classic Barracuda muscle car.

"Petit Verdot is the fifth red varietal of Bordeaux, France. We're well known for doing Petit Verdot here at Cuda Ridge Wines," he explained.
