A judge had ordered the board to reconsider its approval because of the Atlas Peak Fire. May 20, 2021
The Napa County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday re-affirmed a 2017 vote to give the green light to a proposed winery on Atlas Peak east of Napa, a project strongly opposed by neighbors. The vote in favor of the future Mountain Peak Winery was 3-2.
A final vote will take place July 13. The resolution will include restriction at the request of Supervisor Brad Wagenknecht – a restriction to visitations to the winery on days when the U.S. Weather Service issues red-flag fire warnings.
The Board of Supervisors originally approved the 100,000-gallon winery at 3265 Soda Canyon Road in August 2017, about two months before the deadly Atlas Peak Fire scorched much of the canyon, forcing harrowing evacuations in the middle of the night along the 6.5-mile dead-end road.

A new report says some clinic workers felt pressured to give Supervisor Belia Ramos a COVID-19 vaccination in January because of Ramos presence at the clinic.
STAR EDITORIAL BOARD
Supervisor Diane Dillon is a noted multi-tasker, but even beyond the seemingly endless hours devoted to coronavirus response, thereâs one issue that has consumed her attention in the last few months.
After the widespread devastation of last year s wildfires, itâs easy to guess which issue weâre talking about.
Dillon briefed us last week on various aspects of fire prevention and readiness, from the Board of Supervisorsâ unprecedented commitment of funds to immediate fire mitigation, to Cal Fire s new local response plans, to dealing with PG&E s wholesale tree-cutting and debris abandonment which has increased fire worries rather than alleviating them.
