Napa & Sonoma Wine Country, California, USA - Drone
Napa & Sonoma Wine Country: Castello Di Amorosa, Ledson, Peju Province, Artesa, Sterling, Far Niente, Darioush, Clos Pegase, Robert Mondavi, Opus One, Domaine Carneros, Quixote, Ferrari-Carano, Del Dotto Estate, Chateau Montelena, Bale Grist Mill & Beringer
The Napa & Sonoma Valley is one of the most scenic and beautiful wine country to visit in Northern California. October is a perfect month because the fall colors turns to red & gold which showcases a more dramatic hills & valleys of the vineyards. Because Napa is very close to where we live, my wife and I often spend our weekends there because of its beauty and great places to eat. When I got my first drone, it is here where I practiced aerial videos and revisited the same places where we had gone before for photography. To this day, we are still discovering new wineries and restaurants.
There are over 430 Wineries in Napa Valley and over 380 wineries in Sonoma Valley. An astounding 95% of Napa Valley wineries are family-owned. It was The Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, known as the Judgment of Paris event which placed Napa Valley on the map worldwide. This blind, comparative tasting pitted Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay from California against the best wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy in a blind tasting. When the tasting was done, the judges had given top honors to Chateau Montelena Chardonnay and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon. Napa Valley would never be the same and transformed Napa Valley into one of the premiere wine regions in the world.
Charles Krug is credited with establishing Napa Valley's first commercial winery in 1861: including Schramsberg (founded in 1862), Beringer (1876) and Inglenook (1879).
Aside for its wines (especially Cabernet Sauvignon wines), Napa Valley is also renowned for its fine and diverse cuisine. In fact, the region’s 100-plus restaurants have won more Michelin stars per capita than any other wine country in the world. Among the popular Michelin-starred restaurants include La Toque, The Restaurant at Auberge and The French Laundry.
Besides its arts & culture, you can go around the valley by biking or hiking, sip beer and spirits, see the Old Faithful geyser in Napa city of Calistoga, attend museums and music festivals, go shopping, and ride a hot-air balloon at sunrise.

A Tipsy Tour of Sonoma's Wine Country
Get Lost in Sonoma with Kelley Ferro
You'd never guess that over 400 wineries dot the rolling hills of the rural Sonoma. But with some of the world's most famous wines, this peaceful region is serious about wine production. Kelley takes a tipsy tour through wine country, stopping at some of the most recommended wineries. She indulges in the Bubble Room experience at J Vineyard, meets the owner at Keller Estates, and sips a zinfandel at Dry Creek Vineyard.
GaryFarrell : California Wine with Tony
Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery in Sonoma's Russian River Valley was established in 1982 when Gary Farrell, one of the pioneers of the region, produced 50 cases of Pinot Noir. The winery started producing its own wines in August 2008 in its new, cutting-edge, $15 million winery built on the side of a mountain overlooking Russian River Valley. As a general rule, it does not own its own vineyards, but produces wines by purchasing grapes from local vineyards Rochioli, Allen, and Starr Ridge. Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery ships 12,000 cases per year of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, its main wine.

The Pinot Grigio is the lightest of all of our whites. You'll get all the citrus on the nose and in the front of the taste. Some people pick up a little green apples. Very light, crisp. Aged in stainless steel. Zero percent residual sugars. So you get a nice crisp finish.

The United States is strong as is most of the new world - Australia, Argentina. When you look at the old world the production trend is down, it's gone from about 75 percent to about 60-65 percent in the last dozen years. No new plantings in Europe until the year 2016, so the downward trend will continue as the new world comes up.

Wildfire Burns Near Hilltop Homes in Los Angeles
Wildfire Burns Near Hilltop Homes in Los Angeles. Firefighters are battling a brush fire that quickly chewed through at least 30 acres in Pacific Palisades, burning dangerously close to multimillion-dollar homes in a hillside neighborhood.
Firefighters responded about 10:40 a.m. Monday to the blaze, which erupted near 500 N. Palisades Drive. The fire initially reported as about one acre in size, grew to an estimated 30 acres in less than an hour before reaching about 40 acres by midday, Los Angeles Fire Department officials said.
About 200 homes in the area bordered by Charmel Lane, Bienvenida Avenue, Merivale Lane, and Lachman Lane were ordered to evacuate Monday afternoon, largely due to the amount of smoke and aircraft in the area, said Assistant Chief Patrick Butler, a department spokesman. All evacuations were lifted as of 8 p.m.
“These evacuations are just out of an abundance of caution. There are no structures threatened in the area at this time,” L.A. Fire Department Capt. Branden Silverman said. “We are going to have a significant amount of air resources coming into the area above those homes, so we’d rather have residents pack their bags and leave the area.”
Officials plan to monitor the weather in the coming days and hope to have a better sense of its effects by Thursday.
“Winds in the area are shifting,” Butler said. “Right now, our big concern is the probability of ignition.”

Fires burn across Southern California as dangerous winds continue through Friday
Oct. 22, 2019
Shortly after it broke out, the terrain-driven blaze raced uphill toward homes on Charmel Lane and Vista Grande Drive, where some residents fled the neighborhood in cars. Others were on their decks with garden hoses, trying to protect their homes from a wall of advancing flames.
Firefighters pulled hoses from trucks into backyards and stood on roofs to defend homes. Television images showed residents running from the flames as fire engulfed a tree in a backyard, sending a plume of dark smoke billowing over homes. At one point, a resident quickly drove his car from his garage as flames hit his backyard.
Before noon, fire crews had largely beaten back a significant portion of the flames that were threatening homes. Several helicopters were fighting the fire with water drops as crews scaled a section of the hillside in an effort to extinguish the smoldering blaze.
“This is an extremely challenging fire for hand crews,” Butler said. “They’re essentially clawing their way up this hillside with rocks coming down on them.”
Women from an all-female inmate firefighting crew retreated just before 1 p.m. as the fire jumped toward them over the ridge.
Brushfire in Pacific Palisades
CALIFORNIA
Palisades fire: Evacuation zone, road closures, shelter
Oct. 21, 2019
One firefighter was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center with heat exhaustion. Roughly 30 minutes later, a group of people received an evacuation alert on their phones as rocks began to slide down the ridge.
One civilian was taken to the hospital after complaining of moderate respiratory distress.
Fire officials say no homes have sustained significant damage, in part because of firefighters’ efforts and the lack of wind in the area. However, the region is still experiencing hot, dry weather, which can dry out the brush that fuels wildfires.
Tom Danco said he had told his wife, Lynne, to evacuate when she called him Monday morning. She had been walking their dog and said she could see flames several hundred yards from their home in the Palisades Highlands. She took her dog and some important documents from their safe and left.
Danco, who was nearby, headed home to try to retrieve more items but was stopped at a roadblock on Palisades Drive. He said he wasn’t concerned at the moment about their home, citing favorable weather conditions.
“As long as there’s not a lot of wind, the fire department is really good,” he said.
