California Man Set for Wine Warehouse Fire Hearing

A San Francisco wine keeper who was ready to stand trial for a fire that destroyed a warehouse has scheduled a change-of-plea hearing. The 2005 fire in the warehouse caused the loss of over six million bottles of wine, and an estimated two hundred fifty million dollars‘ worth of damage. The warehouse stored wines for almost 140 Napa Valley wineries.

Mark Anderson’s trial has been set for Tuesday in federal court in Sacramento, although court documents show that he has scheduled a change-of-plea hearing for Monday afternoon. The sixty-one-year-old pleaded not guilty to nineteen federal charges in 2007, including arson, mail fraud, and tax evasion.
