Sucks on so many levels.

California REALLY needs to reassess their electrical infrastructure (since that is what they have blamed many of the fires on) and they they REALLY need to revamp their forestry management processes (since that is making things significantly worse).

Well that's depressing. Did our 5 year anniversary there a few years ago. Beautiful area. Hopefully they can recover.

This is true if the old vines can weather the fires. As long as the roots don't get destroyed, you're probably right. The fields will be fertile as a mofo.

They make incredible Napa wine honestly. That's a big one to go down. It's been my favorite recently.

It totally sucks. We were there last week enjoying some great wine and visiting my 19 year old, who’s enrolled at The Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena. He lives in Calistoga and had to evacuate this morning. He’s safe in Rio Vista. Had many of those wines listed above.

Believe it or not but Venge was spared. They sustained little to no structural damage. They were extremely lucky but others right down Silverado Trail did not fair so well

His house was awesome. The ranch was pimp. Always wondered what course he played that day.
