In the midst of the blaze, a large plastic wine container melted, releasing a boiling pool of wine, according to SF Gate.

"I saw a pool of wine, and it was flowing lightly down the hill, and as I got close to it, I noticed that it was bubbling," photographer Josh Edelson told the news outlet. "At first, I didn't understand it, but then it dawned on me that the ground was hot, and the wine was boiling with all that stuff smoldering around it."

Edelson captured pictures of the haunting scene at Paradise Ridge on Tuesday.

Paradise Ridge Winery owner Sonia Byck-Barwick told CNN the property is completely burned, and all of the grapes they had picked for the season have been lost. Byck-Barwick said she hopes to keep the business alive in the face of destruction by using a small building on the property as a tasting room for visitors.

Many other wineries have experienced varying degrees of damage, and at least a dozen have been completely destroyed, according to The Mercury Times.

The fires in Northern California have destroyed at least 5,700 homes and businesses, and have displaced 90,000 people as of Friday afternoon, according to the Associated Press. At least 35 people have died, making these fires the deadliest and most destructive in the state's history.

The two deadliest fires -- the Tubbs and Atlas fires in Napa and Sonoma Counties -- moved quickly through wine country due to strong winds, making it difficult for firefighters to contain them.
