Soda Rock Winery Owner Plans to Rebuild After Kincade Fire
As he walked around his gutted Soda Rock Winery on Monday, Ken Wilson said he’s mostly over the shock of losing the property that he and his wife, Diane, dedicated 10 years to restore to its former glory amid the vineyards of the Alexander Valley.
With a glass of the winery’s cabernet sauvignon in hand, Wilson looked at the ruins of his boutique winery east of Healdsburg and began to contemplate rebuilding after the Kincade fire. He also spoke of the overall fickleness of wildfires and how some floating embers amid whipped-up winds can make the difference between destruction and relative safety. (Press Democrat)
