Bartholomew Park Winery
Lately I've been riding my bike up to the Bartholomew Park Winery and today (May 23, 2009) I took some video to show how pretty it is there!
Bartholomew Park Winery is situated in the heart of the 400-acre Bartholomew Memorial Park in Sonoma. A visit to the winery includes a sampling of Bartholomew Parks premium wines, access to vineyard-view picnic grounds, hiking trails, and a museum chronicling the propertys illustrious history and current grape growing practices.
The picnic grounds at Bartholomew Park overlook the vineyards and a replica of Agoston Haraszthys Palladian Villa which was destroyed by fire around the turn of the century.
In the hills behind the winery are approximately three miles of marked hiking trails. A variety of indigenous California vegetation -- oak groves, manzanita, madrone, redwood-shaded fern grottos, and fields of spring wildflowers -- provides visitors with a generous sampling of the visual delights and natural beauty of Sonoma County. On a clear day, the view from Bartholomew Parks trails extends to San Francisco.
The Palladian Villa is open Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. until 3 p.m.

To Bartholomew Park Winery in Sonoma
２０１３年７月のナパ旅行。一日だけ路線バスに揺られてソノマへ行きました。ソノマでは、レンタサイクルを借りてのワイナリー巡り。この日最後のワイナリーです。このワイナリーまでの道中が一番景色がキレイでした。ワイナリーへ続く最後の一本道、Castle Rd.は最高でした。映像は、ワイナリーのテイスティング・ルーム到達するまでの数十メートルです。自転車こぐ撮影者の息がアップアップです。その息遣いが録音されています。
Bartholomew Park Winery
Bartholomew Park Winery is a winery located in Sonoma, California, United States. The winery is located on the former site of Agoston Haraszthy's Buena Vista Winery and eventually, in the 1920s, Sonoma Valley Hospital. In 1941 the site was purchased by Frank Bartholomew. He eventually sold his portion of Buena Vista Winery and retained the majority of his vineyard land around the area. In 1973 he opened Hacienda Wine Cellars on the property. More info visit

California's Multi-Billion Dollar Wine Industry Assesses Losses After 6.0 Earthquake
Wineries in the idyllic Sonoma Valley have been coping with a record-setting drought for nearly a year. And the lack of rain, searing hot temperatures and lowering water tables have put immense pressure on vintners' bottom line.
Early Sunday morning, California's wine industry took another huge blow. This time the destruction came from below ground.
A 6.0 earthquake, centered about five miles south-southwest of Napa, Calif. gave area residents an abrupt 3:20 a.m. wake-up call as long, rolling seismic waves undulated under their homes and businesses.
The shallow quake, located about six miles below the surface, is the strongest to strike the Bay Area in nearly 25 years. It's a far cry from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake; which killed 63 people, injured more than 3,700 and left thousands of buildings uninhabitable. By contrast, Saturday's quake caused more than 200 injuries — including a child last listed in critical condition at a San Francisco hospital — and left dozens of buildings unsafe for habitation.
In the immediate aftermath of the tremblor, as many as 70,000 PG&E customers lost power. As of Monday morning, only 150 customers had yet to be restored. Dozens of water mains were ruptured as well, causing headaches for first responders trying to fight structure fires caused by the earthquake. As of early Monday, only eight water mains had been repaired.
The economic toll on the region is also likely to be very high, since the massive California wine industry was so hard hit.
Broken Bottles and Shattered Expectations
According to discovercaliforniawines.com, the California wine industry has a $61.5 billion annual economic impact in the state, employing nearly 330,000 people and generating a total of $14.7 billion in state and federal tax revenue.
But the adverse impact of the earthquake, coupled with the on-going historic drought, is likely to hamper the industry for sometime to come.
Images from Napa, Sonoma and the surrounding areas show thousands of smashed wine bottles and toppled aging barrels, likely ruining millions of dollars in vineyards' vintages. David Oppenheimer, a seismologist with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) told the Wall Street Journal that economic losses in the region could easily top $100 million. Some estimates have the damage near $1 billion.
Other local businesses, like wine bars and restaurants, are reporting big losses as well. Reuters talked to Tyler Paradise, the genenral manager of the Cult 21 wine bar in Napa, and he says at least $50,000 dollars worth of his inventory is ruined.
If there is the smallest of silver linings for beleaguered wine makers, it's this: This year's harvest had only just begun. And even though crop yields are expected to be a fraction of normal — some wineries are forecasting only 20% of normal — had this year's vintages been lost, it could have been catastrophic for winemakers. But, for now, it appears the 2014 harvest and crush are safe.
The Quake's Cause
The San Andreas Fault is a well-known boundary of the North American and Pacific tectonic plates. It's caused numerous high-profile and exceedingly damaging earthquakes, like the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the 1994 Northridge earthquake. But, it wasn't directly involved in Sunday's shaking of the Bay Area.
The likely culprit, according to SF Gate, was ...the Browns Valley section of the West Napa Fault, about 3 miles northwest of American Canyon.
Some questions remain if that's the exact location of the tremblor, since there a number of other, smaller faults that run close to the West Napa Fault. That said, scientists say aftershocks and addition analysis will help to better pinpoint the location of the original event.
USGS seismologist David Oppenheimer told WeatherNation that a team of scientists are in the field looking at physical evidence in an attempt to better locate the offending fault.
That said, current evidence suggest the quake originated from the West Napa Fault. The Napa West Fault — much like it's cousin, the well-known San Andreas — is a slip-strike fault. That's where two land masses laterally grind against one another in opposite directions. That opposite movement causes energy to build in the earth and at some point the fault ruptures, releasing that stored energy in the form of seismic waves.
Since most of the faults in northern California are shallow, the released seismic waves are much more destructive than deep-fault earthquakes of the same magnitude.
