Time to invent a new wine. Scotch with grapes. Where the scorch is part of the flavor.

It will be the grape industry. Very few wineries actually grow their own grapes. The vines you see are almost always for show.
Wines will be more expensive with imported out of sate grapes.

In 1808, the Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga encountered and named the Sacramento Valley and the Sacramento River. A Spanish writer with the Moraga expedition wrote: "Canopies of oaks and cottonwoods, many festooned with grapevines, overhung both sides of the blue current. Birds chattered in the trees and big fish darted through the pellucid depths.
The air was like champagne, and (the Spaniards) drank deep of it, drank in the beauty around them. "¡Es como el sagrado sacramento! (It's like the Blessed Sacrament.)" The valley and the river were then christened after the "Most Holy Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ", referring to the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist. https://www.triposo.com/loc/Sacramento2C_California/history/background

Wouldn’t a good rain wash off the grapes on the vine?

It’s one disaster after another in the blue states, while the red states are doing OK. Even here in NV, which voted for Shrillary last time but where DJT is only 1 pt. behind Bite-me in the latest poll, seems to be coming back strongly.

Sorry CA but this is good news for the Trump Winery in VA.

Reminds me of an episode of Sanford and Son, Fred, in his raspy voice: “I made a new drink. I mixed Champagne and Ripple. I call it CHAMPIPPLE!”

I, for one, have had more than enough of the “fruity” flavor.
Smoked might be an improvement, though less favorable than “heavily oaked”.
Bring the wines on and we’ll see.

Might be the best thing that ever happened to their grapes. A smoky flavor sounds magnificent.
To: nickcarraway
Unless the grape leaves have the ability to absorb the smoke and then via the vines system of delivering nutrients to the grapes this article is crap science. Those grapes are washed most thoroughly after harvest.
