The 2004 Panorama Fire spreads down a hillside towards vineyards in Sonoma’s Alexander Valley near the town of Geyserville. Back in 2004, summer fires were a rare thing. Now, they’re an almost yearly phenomenon. It was looking like California wine country might escape the smoke this year, but unfortunately, it looks like El Dorado County and other Sierra Foothills appellations are going to be impacted by recent fires by a greater or lesser extent.
