Tracie, the girls, and I are praying for our sisters and brothers in LA. I lived, went to school, and worked in west LA right where the fires are happening. It’s so unreal and scary. And we just got back from southern California where we spent our winter break. We left San Diego where my family lives just a day or so before the Santa Ana winds started up.

I have so many beloved friends and cherished colleagues in the LA area. I just did two wine events in LA a few weeks ago. I know they are going to need our support moving forward.

Let’s all pray for the families and communities impacted and affected. G-d bless them. Angeleños, please stay safe. We love you and you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will be ready to help when the time comes.
