A very different view of our beautiful valley right now.
Yesterday, Koi and I had to evacuate our home. We are safe and incredibly grateful to have a place to stay, but from where we are, we can still look across toward the vineyard and winery, not knowing what the coming hours may bring.
Our hearts are so full of gratitude for every person who has opened their home, offered help, checked in, and supported those who have had to leave theirs. This community continues to remind us what it means to come together when it matters most.
And to the firefighters, emergency crews, first responders, and everyone working tirelessly through these incredibly difficult conditions — thank you. There truly are no words for what you are doing for all of us.
So many people throughout our valley are facing uncertainty right now. Please keep everyone affected in your thoughts and prayers, and please stay safe.
One day, one hour, one moment at a time.
