If you live in the Sonoma County, CA area and you’re a wine lover, listen up. A blending tank door at Rodney Strong Vineyards popped open, spilling 97,112 gallons of red wine which have leaked into the Russian River according to a report from the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. The wine was red and had the volume to fill eight large tanker trucks. The leak has since been stopped but the damage is already done. Rodney Strong spokesman Chris O’Gorman told KTLA Thursday “We are deeply concerned and are doing everything in our power to protect our waterways.”
