• Gavin Newsom says he was unaware of massive wine cellar in $7.5M home (amedpost.com) — Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife are selling their 12,000-square-foot Fair Oaks home for $7.5 million, double what they paid eight years ago. The governor joked he barely knew about the 5,000-bottle wine cellar, saying he mostly stored inherited books there. The listing highlights a wellness oasis, resort-style pool, tennis court, and private casita as Newsom eyes life beyond Sacramento.
