Napa/Sonoma having huge fires, quite a few wineries burned or currently have no power

 

[RedLantern]

The worst. I have a little bit of wine is storage (pending shipment) down there. Wonder how much of the harvest is in? Will the smoke adversely affect the vintage?

I have heard that a main problem (other than being burned down) is the fermentation with no power- hard to cool the process

Met my fairy Bordeaux mother last night. Called this hole-in-the-wall wine and liquor spot in New Jersey looking for Chateaeu Branaire-Ducru and to my surprise found the best selection and guidance I've ever received with wine. What an unexpected Tuesday.

How was tour st christophe? I know it's one of Kwok's new estates and that it is fairy modern in style, but the reviews are always glowing

Not to be a callous asshole, but I wonder what all the fires will do to the vintage this year in Napa.

Nice, I've still got a few bottles of that kicking around

 

[Krish the Fish]

I think I might have a bottle or two as well; I recall my fiancée liked it and the Teulon (sp?) FP offerings

 

[Piobaire]

Yeah, that and the Cab by them were really good FP buys.

Thanks, mate, but have about 20 cases of various things coming in over the next several weeks so I'm saturated at this point.
