Interviewing the #firefighters of #california. #carrfire was one of the most devastating forest fire California. It burned 229,651 acres (92,936 ha; 359 sq mi), before it was 100% contained late on August 30, 2018. It destroyed at least 1,604 structures (at least 1,077 were homes) while damaging 277 others, becoming the seventh-largest wildfire recorded in modern California history. There were 4500 firefighters working together to contain the fire.
On the way to Redding , CA we happen to drive through #napavalley Wine tasting at #ChateauMontelena, which is a Napa Valley winery most famous for winning the white wine section of the historic "Judgment of Paris" wine competition. Chateau Montelena's Chardonnay was in competition with nine other wines from France and California under blind tasting. All 11 judges awarded their top scores to either the Chardonnays from Chateau Montelena or Chalone Winery, another California wine producer. So this is the bottle that put California wine into world map.
