Napa Valley Earthquake

Posted 08/28/2014

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake hit parts of Napa Valley and Sonoma county early Sunday morning. The damage and disruption is still being assessed, as many areas are still without power. Potential gas leaks and water main breaks are also being investigated. There are reports of damage to wine bottles and barrels, collapsing racks, and damage to buildings in the affected area. In terms of logistics, the Oakland port is open and terminals are operating as usual, but deliveries into the affected areas may be hampered or delayed. We hope that all of our industry colleagues our safe. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of our association members in the Napa Valley and San Francisco area, and we hope that they have not incurred too much damage.
