We took Bev & Barb to the DeRose winery in Hollister for some yummy wine tasting. The DeRose winery has a fine selection of wine to try, but their tasting room / barrel room is also a historic landmark. Not only is it the the oldest in California - dating back to 1851 - but the San Andreas Fault also runs right smack dab through the middle of it.
The picture above is the historic landmark plaque right next to the wall that has crumbled away due to the slow migration of the two tectonic plates. The picture below shows the giant crack through the cement floor of the winery.

Good wine and interesting building - no trembles while we were there - thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! We're glad we took you & Barb to the fault, and "The Big One" did not strike - that would have been a bit more adventure than we were hoping for :)
