An urgent warning issued Tuesday by Napa County’s agricultural commissioner has sparked concern across California after an invasive insect linked to devastating vineyard disease was discovered in grapevines sold at Costco Wholesale and distributed across multiple counties. Officials confirmed that shipments of grapevines originating from Burchell Nursery in Fresno County were delivered to Costco locations serving Napa, Sonoma, Marin, Solan and Yolo counties. The affected stock, 220 grapevines in total, was shipped between April 21 and May 26 and included plants sold at Costco Wholesale in Napa.
