From 1907-1917 the building in the background was touted as the "Worlds Largest Winery". It was shut down during the prohibition and all of the wine bottles were hurled into the bay. The beaches surrounding Winehaven, or Point Molate, are heavily sprinkled with 100 year old sea glass. In 1941, the navy bought the building and used it as a fuel depot until it closed in 1995.

    It's Point Molate in Richmond. Right off the Richmond bridge. Lots of neat stuff around there.
