they are trying to get ahead of that as much as they can and try to save the structures that they can. unfortunately, soto rock winery is basically a total loss. so we were just talking with captain foxworthy from cal fire a few minutes ago and what he told us is that the fire has now crossed over to the westside of highway 128 and is making its way south and west toward the communities of healdsburg and windsor . but as of about 6 o'clock this morning , it has not made it into those communities yet. the places where we are seeing the structures being lost, and also structures being defended and saved, are all here right in the heart of alexander valley wine country, right along highway 128. anywhere that you have property that's right up against the hills, the vineyards actually are creating some decent fire breaks for firefighters. the problem is there is so much open space and brush and that is where firefighters are having the most difficult time. as we keep saying, time and time again, this is a very rapidly changing situation and when told to evacuate people need to do so immediately. >> the winds we are experi
