Monterey Co. vineyards may feel ripple effects from Napa fires
By Joe Szydlowski, Salinas Californian
The devastating fires in Napa and Sonoma counties could affect Monterey County vineyards and wineries, which already normally sell grapes to their colleagues in the North.
But many of the effects, and how noticeable they’ll be up there, probably won’t be known until next year because the growing season was already wrapping up and the extent of the damage is still being calculated, including the effects of lost power and water supplies, local vintners say.
