Fires Blaze in California Wine Country

I've written many an entry the past few months on California wine country, and now some of the more prestigious vineyards of Napa Valley are in danger of going up in flames. A report that came out of Los Angeles last evening said that wildfires burning in the region are slowly encroaching on the coveted grape-growing area of Northern California.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was first in line to assure citizens that the state government is doing everything it can to lend a helping hand, saying - "Shelters have been set up...combination of Red Cross and volunteers have been working on that . . . I want to thank Cal Fire for their great effort...we have firefighters we can be proud of."

At the moment it looks like cooling temperatures and higher winds are going to help to keep fires at bay. Good thing for all you wine lovers out there.
