Smoke Taint Looms Large for California Wine

I don't know how many of California's wine grapes right now are affected by smoke taint. Nobody does. But I know some are – everybody does, and that's the problem. Last weekend the website SFist ran an article entitled "Entire 2020 Wine Vintage Could Be Ruined By Smoke Taint from NorCal Fires." The article was an alarmist exaggeration, but the perception is out there, and so is the smoke.
