  Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Meadowood Resort is among the myriad Napa properties damaged in today's wildfires. The Glass Incident fires have consumed more than 36,200 acres, with historic wineries and vineyards in their paths The communities of Napa and Sonoma counties have been stunned and humbled by the devastation and uncertainty brought by the wildfires that continue to rage there. The Glass Incident fires, which ignited Sept. 27, have consumed more than 36,200 acres, destroying homes, wineries and other businesses, with countless others still under threat from the fast-moving fires that remain uncontained.
Two of Napa Valley's most prestigious luxury resorts, Meadowood and Calistoga Ranch, have suffered fire damage.
On Spring Mountain, Newton Vineyard reported that the winery was significantly impacted by the wildfire. "All facilities will be closed as we assess the damage," Jean-Baptiste Rivail, president and CEO of Newton Vineyard, told Wine Spectator. The Lawrence family, owners of Heitz Cellar, announced that the recently acquired Burgess Cellars winery on Howell Mountain was destroyed in the fire, and photos have indicated fire damage at Castello di Amorosa as well, but details are not yet available.
