Source: mercurynews.com

Updated Tuesday 9:10 a.m. Alison deGrassi of Visit Mendocino confirmed that two Redwood Valley wineries were destroyed by the fires — Frey Winery and Oster Wine Cellars, owned by Kenny and Teresa Oster. The vineyards at Masut Vineyard and Winery in Redwood Valley also reportedly burned, deGrassi said, but she had yet to confirm that report.

Updated Monday 10 p.m. Pete Hoffmann, owner of Napa’s Aum Cellars, reported Monday night that his winery survived the fire. On Facebook, Hoffmann posted, “Sheep, chickens, vineyards, home and winery are all good. Many neighbors houses burned to the ground. No power and no way to get up there to do punch downs, but we’re thankful yet saddened for the level of destruction around our community and state.”
