[Updated 13 October 2017 18:25 GMT-8]As you undoubtedly know, Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino counties are experiencing many wildfires. A few wineries have burned to the ground. In the north part of Santa Rosa the Fountaingrove Inn, Hilton Sonoma Wine Country Inn, the Round Barn historic building, and a Trader Joe’s are no more. Thankfully, the Siduri winery has survived so far. We have no word on Belden Barns, but there is a fire in the Bennett Valley below their Sonoma Mountaintop location.
There are two parts to this article. First I’ll give you fire information resources that I believe are fairly up-to-date and accurate. Second, I’ll post links to specific, local relief organizations. I have to add that some members of the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance are donating $1 per bottle purchased to several relief organizations.
