A Hot River Of Wine Flows Down The Hill
Residents were strongly cautioned by officials not to reenter evacuated areas, however, many people slipped back into the evacuation zones to see if their houses were left standing. One photographer, Josh Edelson, made his way to the site of Paradise Ridge Winery and found a river of boiling red wine flowing down the hill. This eerie image is symbolic of the world-class wine that was lost in the wildfires, the heart of the wine country. He told the SF Gate, “I saw a pool of wine and it was flowing lightly down the hill and as I got close to it, I noticed that it was bubbling. At first, I didn’t understand it, but then it dawned on me that the ground was hot and the wine was boiling with all that stuff smoldering around it.”
