The cabernet sauvignon, enough to fill eight large tanker trucks, spilled at the Rodney Strong Vineyards in Healdsburg Wednesday after a door near the bottom of a large blending tank popped open, spilling all of the wine it was holding into a sanitary sewer system on the property, the Press Democrat reported.
The wine spilled into a drainage ditch that feeds into Reiman Creek and eventually made its way to the Russian River.
According to the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, which was notified of the accident on Wednesday, about 20% of the 97,112 gallons spilled were contained. Estimates showed anywhere between 46,000 and 96,000 gallons reached the Russian River.
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office helicopter determined the wine reached as far south as Riverfront Regional Park within a matter of hours.

Red wine doesn’t pair with white fish but Justin Wilson said use whatever wine you want, the fish isn’t going to know anyway.

Compound California math with journalist math, and we have utter excrement.
Check out the statement in this blurb where it says the spill went into a sanitary sewer. The next sentence says the spill went into a drainage ditch then ending up in the Russian River. So which is it, you derps?
When it comes to math, units and mechanical systems, most journalists know less than my Cairn terrier.
good time to be a fish
Could be a fun tubing trip. All you need is a straw. Better bring your own though.
