Gavin Newsom claims he ‘didn’t even know’ about 5,000-bottle wine cellar at his $7.5M home

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom are selling their $7.5 million Sacramento-area residence — yet the governor claims he’s was barely aware of one of the home’s key amenities.

At a press conference, the winemaker-turned-pol was put on the spot about whether he even filled the home’s massive 5,000-bottle wine cellar.

... California’s first couple listed the home for $7.5 million Tuesday — double what they paid for it eight years ago, according to its Zillow real estate listing.

The secluded home features a “personal wellness oasis,” a resort-style pool, full-size tennis court, and a “private casita” in addition to the sprawling basement booze cave, according to a property description.

Newsom claims he didn’t know about the wine cellar in the basement of his home. I believe him!

Because until a home inspector pointed it out, I didn’t know there was an active skeet range in the basement of my home.

And no, I don’t know who that lady is.

I haven’t been in the basement for awhile. I will head down there tomorrow to see if I have a massive wine room that I forgot about.

I average about 5 bottles at any given time in my “cellar” closet. But I am taking a note not to make Newsom’s mistake, and to include $50 in the price of the home when I put it on the market.

He thinks he’ll be POTUS.

Don’t think so.

I’ve heard Senator Ossoff might run and some think he has the strongest chance to be the nominee.

“ barely aware” is the same as aware. I became an expert at spotting weasel words during the Clinton administration.

“I was just on the phone with my realtor, demanding an answer to this here to now undisclosed basement, some claim is a wine cellar, symbolizing white privilege and elitist patriarchy, I can’t be responsible for everything my modest home is rumored to sit on top of”

“Are you serious? Really?” the Democrat [Newsom] asked, stunned. . .
Much of the family’s income comes from Newsom’s stakes in a lucrative wine and hospitality business he founded off the back of his connections to one of California’s wealthiest families, the Getty oil clan.

Newsome was stunned by learning he had this little nook hidden on the multi-million dollar premises?

The article notes that "Much of the family’s income comes from Newsom’s stake in a lucrative wine and hospitality business he founded off the back of his connections to one of California’s wealthiest families, the Getty oil clan."

Just a few books from his Dad--and yet he's making millions from a wine business?

Newsom is giving politicians a bad name.
