California Gov. Gavin Newsom is now insisting he had no idea his own $7.5 million mansion featured a 5,000-bottle wine cellar, a claim that strains credulity given both the price tag and his long-standing ties to the wine industry.
According to the Gateway Pundit, the Democrat governor and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, are unloading their upscale Sacramento-area residence even as he professes ignorance of one of its most extravagant perks. As reported by the New York Post, the property listing highlights a massive 5,000-bottle wine cellar, yet Newsom now says he didnt even know about it.
Gavin Newsom claims he didnt even know about 5,000-bottle wine cellar at his $7.5M home, the Post noted, after the winemaker-turned-politician was pressed at a recent press conference on whether he ever stocked the cellar. Photos of the space show a sleek, glass-enclosed room with seating, rows of shelving, and what appear to be books stacked into the walls alongside bottles of wine.
Newsom is clearly positioning himself for higher office, winding down his time in Sacramento as he eyes an expected White House run and settles into a $9 million home in Marin County purchased in 2024. Yet his attempt to distance himself from the trappings of wealth and privilege, particularly in a state wracked by homelessness, crime, and soaring costs, only underscores the disconnect between progressive rhetoric and elite liberal lifestyles.
For many voters, No one is buying it, especially from a governor who built part of his fortune in the wine business but now claims to have overlooked a 5,000-bottle cellar in his own home. When critics say Lying does seem to come very naturally to him and that he is trying so hard to be authentic that it just ends up making him look even worse, they are voicing a broader frustration with a political class that demands sacrifice from ordinary citizens while living by a very different standard.
