    California's Wildfire Siege

    PAYWALL ACCESS Email: [email protected] Password: password1 CALIFORNIA’S WILDFIRE SIEGE How the San Francisco Chronicle covered the record-setting blazes of 2020 In August and September, we saw 7.8 million page views to our interactive fire tracker project, including individual pages dedicated to the LNU Lightning Complex and Glass fires. If there’s a typical breaking news story, this wasn’t it. This was a cascading di- saster that unfolded not in an hour or a day, but over two months, relentlessly. Starting in mid-August, a siege of dry lightning unleashed fires unprecedented even by California standards. Flames blasted into rural towns and cities. Smoke choked the sky. By season’s end, 9,600 fires had burned a record-setting 4.4 mil- lion acres, destroyed 10,000-plus homes and businesses, and killed 33 people. Though the stage had been set by drought, climate change and government failure, California was not prepared. There weren’t enough firefighters and evacuees confront- ed the spreading coronavirus. But the Chronicle staff was prepared, after spending the previous three years reorganizing its entire newsroom around fire season. The Chronicle staff — while covering a pandemic and an election and coping with the restrictions of remote work — documented the fires aggressively, 24 hours a day, with a varied and innovative array of journalism that gave readers critical informa- tion even as it raised difficult questions about the state’s future. This included: • On-the-ground reporting and a drumbeat of enterprise and investigative work; • Vivid photography and videography; • Nonstop “live updates” and news alerts; • Multimedia tools including fire, air-quality and power-outage trackers; • Podcasts and social media delivered in real-time from the field; • Explainers on what readers needed to know to understand the story and be safe; • Deep narrative storytelling that illuminated the human costs.

    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 10, Issue 25 February 8, 2016 Revisiting New Zealand Pinot Noir on the Occasion of Spectacular 2013 Vintage The New Zealand wine industry is thriving in a relatively small country that depends on exports for its survival. According the 2015 New Zealand Winegrowers Annual Report, the value of New Zealand wine exports grew 7% in 2015 to reach a new record of $1.42 billion. Three markets, Australia, UK and USA each account for around one quarter of exports (the USA is the largest export market by value) with significant future growth potential evident in North American and China. New Zealand wine is exported to more than 90 countries. Exports of Pinot Noir nearly doubled from 2008 to 2015. New Zealand is still renowned for Sauvignon Blanc which accounts for the vast majority of the country’s wine production, but Pinot Noir, and even Chardonnay, is attracting the most attention from wine connoisseurs. As Nick Stock, Australia Gourmet Traveller Wine, pointed out in April 2015, “The attention given to New Zealand Pinot Noir is well above what’s deserved in terms of the amount made, but factor in their quality across a range of styles and it’s easy to justify the hype.” Refer to chart below for percentage of production by varietal. From 2006 to 2015, the number of New Zealand wineries has increased from 530 to 673 and the number of growers from 87 to 762. Total producing vineyard area in 2015 was 88,609 acres. Pinot Noir acreage has increased from 10,039 acres in 2006 to 13,748 acres in 2015 (nearly equal to the 14,027 acres of Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley.

    A Fantastic Voyage to Northern California's Wine Country

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/abby­tegnelia/voyage­northern­californias­wine­country_b_6510922.html Abby Tegnelia​ ​Entertainment+Travel Editor, NiC Magazine | NowItCounts.com A Fantastic Voyage To Northern California's Wine Country Posted: 01/29/2015 6:25 pm EST Updated: 2 hours ago Livermore Vineyard in Tri-Valley, CA W​hen I lived in New York City after college, "wine country" seemed like an exotic, intimidating locale that I would never have the opportunity to explore. My impression couldn't have been more off! Many years later, I live so close to Napa and Sonoma that I go about twice a month -- and have explored wineries and tasting rooms all over California. What I love about it is that it offers something for everyone. Whether you're a newbie wine connoisseur or an aficionado looking for new places to explore, I bet this wine country extravaganza has something for you. Let's start with Napa; since as the most famous name of California wine country, it's a great place to begin our adventure. There's much rivalry between those who love Napa and those who swing Sonoma. I'm here to tell you that you can like both. And with all the talk of getting off the beaten path (we'll get there), I thought it'd be fun to start with the classics. First-time visitors to the area should start with a leisurely drive up Highway 29. Most of the wineries along that stretch don't require reservations, and all the big names are there: Robert Mondavi, Domaine Chandon​, Cakebread and Beringer.
