The stories of devastation and loss are as gut-wrenching as they are heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

“The ferocious fires in the Wine Country and beyond,” wrote the editors of the San Francisco Chronicle<\/em><\/a> yesterday, “destroyed new territory on multiple fronts Wednesday, threatening communities untouched by the previous onslaught \u2014 including the cities of Sonoma, Napa, Calistoga and Fairfield \u2014 and prompting evacuations of thousands more people.”<\/p>\n

“Fires raked across the state, but the primary battlefields were in Napa, Sonoma and Solano counties where wind gusts topping 30 mph were giving out-of-control fires new life and sending firefighters from across California and Nevada scrambling to save lives and property.”<\/p>\n

Below, we’ve copied and pasted an email blast by Ceri Smith, owner of the Biondivino<\/a> wine shops in San Francisco and Palo Alto. Both locations are accepting donated items (the list of suggested items follows). Relief supplies can also be shipped to either location and Ceri has also included other resources for donations and recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

Many basic items are needed as so many have lost so much.
\nFrom what I understand these are the most immediate needs:<\/p>\n
