Because first, coronavirus was closing businesses left, right, and center everywhere, but particularly in food and beverage, as you were just mentioning, now able to go outside. I'm glad you mentioned it, this double whammy. KRISTIN MYERS: So talk to me a little bit more about that. Well, now, with the fires and smoke and ash, we would normally then bring everybody inside. But yeah, we are closed today.Īnd it's kind of a double whammy for us here in wine country, because we were allowed to open up our tasting rooms and sit outside during COVID.

The view behind me is the Tucker Car, the tasting room. And so that's kind of what we've been seeing. We actually had over 10,000 lightning strikes the middle part of August, which set then fires throughout California.Īnd so it wasn't just one. So now we've got, with the fires- typically, as you brought up, the Kincaid fire, which happened in late October last year, this one and these around California are a little bit unusual, because we had some lightning strikes. I'm wondering if you could paint a picture for everyone at home about what it's like in your area right now.ĬOREY BECK: Yeah. I had been seeing on your site that you guys actually had to close your tasting room because of all of the smoke. I'm wondering what the situation on the ground is for you guys right now. But last year, Kincaid Wildfire impacted the area of your winery. So Corey, I know that the wildfires are not new, unfortunately. To chat about this, we are joined now by Corey Beck, CEO at Francis Ford Coppola Winery. KRISTIN MYERS: Wildfires in California are wreaking havoc on the state and could cause a financial crisis due to business disruption, lowered property values, and more. Francis Ford Coppola Winery CEO Corey Beck joins Yahoo Finance’s Kristin Myers to discuss how the California wildfires and the coronavirus are impacting the wine industry.
