Anderson Pleads Guilty to Arson in Wines Central Blaze $100 Million in Premium Wines Destroyed in Attempt to Elude Debtors By Bradley Gray – Special Report to Grapelive Four years and one month later, Mark Anderson of Sausalito pleads guilty to setting the fire at Wines Central, a 240,000 square foot wine storage facility that housed the cellar inventory for about 100 Napa Valley premium wineries. Anderson’s fire destroyed an estimated $100 million dollars worth of wine. Why did he do it? Apparently to cover up for embezzling his clients out of wine he was storing for them and erase $290,000 he owed in taxes. http://www.grapelive.com/?p=832
