I remember seeing a post from our long lost compadre Stonegate a few months ago talking about owning a vineyard in Sonoma County. I saw last night on CNN there is a 1200 acre fire in Sonoma county that is not under control. Anyone heard from Kevin or know if this is effecting his venture ??

    I live in Sonoma County and as the crow flies the fire is about 10-20 miles from my place. The 1200 acre fire is now about 10,000 or so acres. Supposedly it is under control or most of it is as of now, but haven't heard anything via radio or tv this morning. It's been a stubborn fire with occasional spotting. I've been watching the related aircraft/helicopter action at the Sonoma County Airport - the place was buzzing with activity over the labor day weekend, geared to limiting the fire's range.

    Siller Bros. from Yuba City have at least 4 Sikorokys' fighting the fire - two S-64's and two S-61's. Impressive copters to say the least.

    This area is scattered with vineyards and steeped terrain, but much of Sonoma County is 'vineyard friendly' too.

    Like you Fuzz, I'm curious as his vineyard in the area.

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the concern, fortunately for us our little vineyard and inn are in the Napa Valley. It's quite smokey, but we are about 20 miles away as the crow flies and over a couple of ranges of large hills from the existing fire. For anyone interested, our Inn can be found at www.InkHouse.com and all Registry members get a 20% discount!

    As long as I'm shamelessly spamming everyone, my other business venture at the moment is the Golden Baseball League -- a new independent Class A/AA minor league in California and Arizona. We announce our charter cities tomorrow (two of them in your neck of the woods, Fuzz) and it will be carried on CNBC at mid-day. You can find out more at www.goldenbaseball.com.

    Cheers,
    Kevin

    SG,
    Glad you're ok.

    Maybe the wife and I will check out your place - 20% discount sounds great!

    People around here were very sad about the demise of the Sonoma County Crushers. I heard some rumblings about a few people striving that void by bringing semi-pro back to this area. Are you be one of those with this league idea? I'll have to check you're bb website.

    Regardless, good luck on the independent league (and your business too)
