97,000 gallons spill from Rodney Strong into Russian River.

Good lord. I can’t even imagine the battle to contain it. Probably like that wine spill that went viral last year but that was just a valve. Poor Justin As if the wine industry needs more bad news right now…

The Steelhead may run early this year

One way to water back, I suppose.

Seriously, a terrible accident for them.

Ha! My first thought was, man, those stealies are having a good time!

Rough math:

97,000 ga = 367,184 liters/9 = 40,798 cases lost.

No idea what COG is for juice alone, but retail/wholesale losses have to be multiple millions (not counting cleanup costs, fines by State/County, etc.)

Bad deal all the way around.

Think their insurance company is on Super F-ing Red Alert?

wait until the EPA nails them with their environmental impact fine. Will be more gut wrenching then the loss of wine

A_So · January 28, 2020, 10:43pm
