Just saw a notice from a winery in Sonoma that sells well regarded Pinots at $100 a bottle. They have lost their entire harvest to smoke. Suspect it will happen to many vineyards.

Always wondered about this and if it also affected open top fermentation with wines and natural yeasts. If they are using natural yeasts in aid, doesn't smoke in air get into flavor? I have no clue just wondering.
In 2017 I was in Oregon and asked that question to a winemaker and he thought I was insane.
Also wonder if some “high end” grape farmers limit their volumes this year due to Covid and blame it on fires to get some federal assistance.
