: The Silverado Trail has long been a place of dreams for Napa Valley wine lovers as it winds gently through vineyards and on to Calistoga.
At least a dozen Napa wineries and vineyards were burned as the inferno erupted this week, with the scorched area now spanning almost 20,200 ha. Wineries that weren’t in ruins were closed, often unattended because people had been ordered to evacuate the area and not allowed back in. “It was unlike any trailer park you’ve ever seen,“ Firefighter Matt Macdonald of nearby Sonoma said while looking over the still smoldering landscape.
“People who come here each have their own memories, usually about a winery they love because it became special to them.” The farmhouse held about 120,000 bottles of wine, valued at about US$5 million , while it is expected to cost another US$10 million to US$12 million to restore the building, according to owner Dario Sattui.Flames ringed the city of Calistoga, creeping slowly down dry, brown hillsides. Vineyards, with their green vines and lack of underbrush, acted as fire brakes in the absence of strong wind.
