Gavin Newsom speaks during a press conference in Los Angeles
six-bedroom home in the wealthy community of Kentfield in unincorporated Marin County
The San Francisco Chronicle was first to confirm the real estate transaction, which was reportedly purchased via a limited liability company controlled by the Newsom family
Earlier this year, media outlets reported California's first family planned to split their time between Sacramento and Marin County
where Gavin and first partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom grew up
and enroll their four children at local schools
According to SFGate, Newsom sold his previous Kentfield home in 2021, and the family will keep their $3.7 million residence in Fair Oaks, outside Sacramento. SFGate reported the sale closed last week for the 5,609 square-foot Kentfield home

House buying further signals likely 2028 run for President
By Evan Symon
bought a $9 million in the Marin County town of Kentfield on Thursday
where he is expected to begin soon dividing time from staying in Sacramento and commuting from his new home
Since 2003, California Governors have often split time between living in Sacramento and elsewhere in the state. For both of his terms, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger flew back and forth between Los Angeles and Sacramento each day on his private “Bear Force One” jet so that he could reside at his home in the Brentwood neighborhood of L.A
Former Governor Jerry Brown had less of a commute
as they sold their Marin County house a year after being elected in 2018 and moved to Sacramento full-time
“To ensure continuity in their children’s education
the family will split their time between Sacramento and Marin heading into the coming academic year,” the Governor’s office said in June
“The family’s children are transitioning grade levels
The Governor and First Partner want to create continuity in their children’s education
recognizing the Governor’s term ends in January 2027.”
That plan moved forward on Thursday when Newsom purchased a six bedroom
a town of around 7,000 with many millionaires and celebrities living in the community
Newsom even bought the house from a billionaire
With Newsom now set to commute even more between the Bay Area and Sacramento for his final two years in office
the move also sets up what he is likely to do afterwards: launch a Presidential run
With Donald Trump now reelected and Newsom not having to worry about a Kamala Harris reelection in 2028
Newsom is likely to resume his long-rumored plans to run for President following him leaving the Governor’s chair
The House in Kentfield is isolated enough to keep press at a reasonable distance away
and large enough for more advanced security measures such as bodyguards should they be needed
America will see this as the Western White House,” explained political advisor Daniel Corwin to the Globe on Friday
“This is his Crawford Ranch or Mar-a-Lago
we’ll be hearing a lot about it should he run
This isn’t a situation where ‘oh
No It is just a good sign that he is starting to move slowly away from the Governor’s seat and off to his next thing
he wanted his kids in a good school and to have a home ready for post-Governorship
Newsom is eyeing an older mansion in Washington.”
It is currently unknown how much time Newsom will be splitting between his new home and Sacramento for the next two years
We do not want him to forget about those living in the RVs’s just because his special
bucolic area of Kentfield is immune to this issue
he will never be the POTUS of this great republic
The rest of the country sees the emperor of California has no clothes
he wanted his kids in a good school”
explained political advisor Daniel Corwin to the Globe on Friday
Meanwhile this POS Governor is doing everything he can to block Charter schools and school vouchers
so others can’t have their kids in good schools
How many homeless shelters and low income housing are in the ritzy town Kentfield or in Marin County where Gavin “Hair-gel Hitler” Newsom and mostly other wealthy Democrats live
While Newsom and AG Bonta have been suing cities across the state for the lack of affordable housing
Newsom and his Democrat cronies in the legislature have hypocritically exempted all cities in Marin County from having low income housing until 2031

This purchase reminds me of some of Obama’s real estate purchases before he ran for president
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pritzker_family
https://www.forbes.com/profile/daniel-pritzker/
The LLC is likely a mask to cover Getty contributions and activity…like everything else in Gavie-poo’s past all the way back from Day 1
I am not a big fan of Matt Gaetz but if he gets the AG position through confirmation or recess appointment (and Mr
Trump wants him) I think that Newscum’s real estate dealings deserve to be looked at
real estate seems to be the preferred mode of moving assets among the Dems; going back to Whitewater and the Clintons
The very mention of Gov Hairgell on any the national political blogsinstantly brings 100% howls of derision
The man has zero traction anywhere but Nancy Pelosi land
Everyone in the state and probably now the country DESPISES Newsom
I would bet a lot of money that even those who work for him or otherwise depend on him for $$$$ or position —– well
except for that mealy-mouthed Super-Sycophant AG Rob Bonta (who wants to be Gov) —- despise him also
pushed and caused this exemption from “affordable housing” mandates for all the cities in Marin County some time ago
made sure the exemption would be in place until 2028
the year Gruesome is to be elected President
But of course we knew extensions would be rubber-stamped so I really don’t know why I’m surprised
Newsom don,t give a dam about us we need to impeach him he have destroyed us kick his ass out of office every body wise up we do not need this huddle head for president voteRED
Is this what KumonAllah meant when she said folks shouldn’t have to spend more than half of their earnings on shelter ??
really bad at math seeing as how we already spend more than half of our incomes on taxes
which means we couldn’t possibly have THAT much left over for rent………
No need to post photos to find interested buyers
Gee how did he do it on salary of $201,680 a year
https://www.calhr.ca.gov › cccc › pages ›
A lot of communities dump their problematic homeless on neighboring communities
to get some meaninful political interest going
particularly close to the residences of prominent politicians
Noisome must be the world’s best financial manager if he can buy a mansion on his salary
If he put that sort of effort into the state’s finances California streets would be paved in gold instead of potholes

TrendingResidentialSan FranciscoANewsom pays $9M to Hyatt Hotels heir for West Marin mansionKentfield mansion belonging to billionaire Daniel Pritzker trades for $600K over asking
Gavin Newsom has bought a Mid-Century Modern home in Marin County
billed as an “extraordinary luxury residence,” for $9.1 million — 7 percent more than its asking price
An affiliate of the governor and his wife, Jennifer, bought the 5,600-square-foot house in Kentfield, in Ross Valley, the San Francisco Standard reported
The seller of the three-level home at 224 Woodland Road was billionaire Daniel Pritzker
has floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Mount Tamalpais
It has folding glass doors and a chef’s kitchen
The home was listed in June for $10.75 million
then relisted in September for $9.5 million
with another price cut in October to $8.5 million
In June, news broke that Newsom’s children were moving from Sacramento back to Marin to continue their education
SIGN UPThe deal was the fifth most expensive in Kentfield since 1999, according to Ryan Lundquist of The Sacramento Appraisal Blog
The sale comes just one month after Marin’s biggest sale of the year: a Ross estate that sold for $23.5 million
Newsom, raised in Marin County, once owned a home in Kentfield he bought in 2011 for $2.2 million, then sold in 2021 for $5.9 million
techies and venture capitalists have been drawn to Ross Valley in West Marin
where the school district is considered among the best in the nation
The typical price for a home in Marin in September was $1.76 million
a 17 percent increase from the previous month and a year-over-year increase of 7 percent
accounted for 1.6 percent of home sales in Marin last year

Proper glassware is more than just a flourish for your dining table
The right glass changes how you smell and taste wine
and it should inspire confidence as you swirl
and in our testing it enhanced the aromas of both red and white wines better than most of the competition
This inexpensive tulip-shaped glass showcases both red and white wines well
It’s durable yet still thin and elegant enough for dinner parties
this glass proved its value across a range of wines and doesn’t feel too precious to use every day
This is a stylish stemless glass that you can use for more than just wine
sparkling nonleaded crystal to showcase your favorite bubbly
and it’s versatile enough to be the only wine glass you need
The shape is nicely balanced with a thin lip that makes it feel more sophisticated than other clunky
It’s also dishwasher safe and durable enough to withstand the rigors of daily use
We particularly recommend this glass for people who tend to drink wine that costs $20 or less per bottle (this glass won’t necessarily highlight the nuanced aromas and flavors of pricier wines) or for those who regularly entertain
It’s versatile and performed as well in our taste tests as glasses costing twice as much
Nice glasses shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions
so we appreciate that the StandArt isn’t so expensive that you’ll be afraid to use it every day
The slightly angled bowl is an elegant touch that enhances swirling
and most testers also found the heavier weight and thicker stem of the StandArt more comfortable to use than the ultrathin Zalto Denk’Art Universal Glass
which is sturdier and better looking than the other stemless options we tested
The angled sides give it a modern look and also make it hard to knock over
The Harmony was pleasant to drink out of and a comfortable size for most people to wrap their hand around
While it didn’t do much to enhance delicate wines
Our experts recommend the Harmony for enjoying inexpensive
but you could also use it as a water or highball glass
Just know that all stemless glasses come with downsides: Because you have to hold them by the bowl
while leaving unsightly fingerprints on the outside
The pros we spoke to agreed that the best thing to drink Champagne out of is a wine glass
But if you don’t typically spend $40 or more on a bottle of Champagne
flutes offer an elegant look and are a must for any celebration
The tulip shape also walks the line between that of a tall flute and the more useful (aromatically speaking) bowl of a traditional wine glass
the Cuvee Prestige also sparkles brilliantly under the light
imperceptible etching at the bottom of the bowl keeps your wine carbonated for as long as possible
Our conversations with experts helped us determine the ideal features of a wine glass
Here's what we looked for in our research and testing:
Stem preferred: We primarily focused on stemmed wine glasses
because they offer a better drinking experience than stemless glasses
you quickly warm the wine past the optimal drinking temperature
you leave unsightly fingerprints all over the bowl of the glass
That said, most of our experts agree that a stemless choice is fine for casual drinking, and we recognize that it’s popular among many people, so we did include a stemless pick in this guide
which allow for a view of the liquid inside
and made of heavy crystal with patterned etchings
we looked for glasses free of imperfections—bends
which are signs of poor quality and can lead to breakage
Thin rims: We also ruled out glasses with thick rims and clunky stems
After sorting through hundreds of glasses for this guide
it’s clear that the less expensive the glass
All our experts were partial to glasses with a thin rim because it felt best against their lips—more elegant and less distracting
the thinnest glasses generally did an excellent job highlighting the flavors and aromas of multiple wines
and most people found them handsome to look at
many of our testers remarked that the thinnest stems were difficult to grip and felt poised to break during use
Even knowing that those thinner glasses are more durable than they appear (all remained intact in our drop tests)
the glasses we favored hit a nice middle ground: thin enough to feel elegant but thick enough to feel comfortable
Medium bowl: The size of the bowl (the part of the glass that holds the wine) affects how well you can swirl the wine and detect its aroma
New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov told us: “You want a bowl that’s big enough to hold a healthy amount of wine while really being no more than a third full
That gives you plenty of room to swirl the wine without fearing you’re going to throw it across the room or onto your shirt.”
We looked for all-purpose glasses from 14 to 19 fluid ounces
which we found big enough to expose red wine to enough oxygen to let aromas become detectable
and still small enough to preserve the subtle aromas of delicate whites
The right shape: We narrowed our search to wine glasses with a slight tulip shape to the bowl, which showcases the aroma of wines best
“You want the diameter of the rim to be a little less wide than the widest part of the bowl
That helps to channel aromas upward and makes the aromas of the wine a little bit easier to detect.” We found both rounded and angular glasses tulip-shaped glasses that we liked
While most wine professionals agree that the wider shape of a wine glass lets the aromatics of a premium bottle of Champagne (think $40 and above) open and develop better than a Champagne flute does
there are situations (like a Champagne toast) that call for the celebratory flutes
narrow shape of a flute also helps keep your bubbly from going flat too quickly
we looked for shapes that preserved carbonation well
but didn’t close off the aromas of the sparkling wine too much
we dropped a Mentos into four different Champagne-filled flutes that had been sitting for 15 minutes
The Mentos accelerated the nucleation process and released most of the carbonation that was left—whichever glass produced the most fizz had preserved carbonation the best
comfortable stems: We avoided wine glasses that were too short and stubby
because they are less unattractive than glasses with longer
The stem also needs to be long enough that you can comfortably hold the glass without your hand touching the bowl
which could warm the wine and leave smudges
But we still wanted the glasses to be short enough to easily fit in a cupboard or the top rack of a dishwasher
We found the ideal height of a wine glass is about 8 to 9 inches
Balance and weight: We looked for glasses that were well-balanced and didn’t feel wobbly when full of wine
The best had bases that were about the same circumference as the widest part of the bowl
A glass that feels almost weightless when empty can feel unbalanced when it is full of wine
while an excessively heavy glass is unpleasant to sip from and cumbersome to hold
We looked for options that struck a comfortable balance
wine glasses have been sold on the premise that you need a smaller bowl for white wines and a larger one for reds
But our tests proved that a smaller glass doesn’t enhance white wines for most tasters
the biggest reds could be as expressive in a medium-size universal glass as in an XL cabernet model
there are plenty of complex whites that benefit from intense swirling in a larger glass just as much as a red can
we conducted a brand-concealed tasting (most recently with Mary Taylor
a wine importer and distributor who has previously worked as a sommelier)
We tasted six vastly different wines in every glass
We also polled a dozen members of Wirecutter staff on how they drink at home and asked them to taste wine from the glasses they were most attracted to
Durability: We performed drop tests with all of our finalists: We knocked them over 10 times onto a hardwood surface
both when the glass was empty and filled one-third full with water
We also hit the bowl of the glass against the edge of a granite counter to see how it would fare
And although it may seem counterintuitive with delicate stemware, all of our picks (and most wine glasses) can go in the dishwasher
some high-end wine glasses specify that machine washing is preferred
This is because the biggest risk for breaking comes during handwashing
where a glass can slip and hit the sink or snap if you twist the bowl and stem in opposite directions
But if you must handwash glasses, we recommend cleaning delicate stemware with hot water, a bottle brush, and a little bit of dish soap
We particularly recommend this inexpensive
16-ounce tulip-shaped glass if you mostly drink bottles of wine in the $20 or less range
or simply want a set of stemware that doesn’t cost a fortune
The Libbey was a favorite of our experts and non-experts alike
showcased the aromas of both reds and whites well
and has a classic look that’s appropriate for daily use or formal occasions
with a thin lip that doesn’t distract from enjoying the overall drinking experience
Our experts were better able to detect the subtle aromas of both red and white wines in the tulip-shaped Libbey than in many of the other glasses we tested
Our experts and other testers found the size of the bowl
and diameter of the base to be perfectly proportioned
“but not scary like I'm going to break the glass if I sneeze.” Several of our Wirecutter staff testers said this glass was the one they were most likely to buy for their own use for its classic shape and balanced look
While the Libbey glass is slightly thicker than fine crystal stemware
especially if you’re wary of giving an expensive glass to rowdy guests
Made from what Libbey calls its ClearFire formula for soda-lime glass
it does seem to sparkle more under the light than other soda-lime glass offerings in this price category
and is remarkably thin for such an inexpensive glass
thinner rims and elongated stems are features we see in glasses costing nearly two or three times as much
You can put the Libbey into the dishwasher
and we were even able to fit it comfortably on the bottom rack
The Libbey glass comes with a 30-day warranty that covers glasses that arrive broken from shipping
but doesn't cover damage that occurs during normal use
but some of the more expensive models we tested remained intact
But since the Libbey glasses are so inexpensive
you won’t be heartbroken if one does break
The Kentfield performed best with the wines we tried in the $10 to $20 range
Taylor noted that it hid flaws better than the less expensive Korin Bordeaux glass on the $10 red
but with the $25 pinot noir it “concentrates sulfur and sweetness” and is a “better glass for inexpensive wine.” If you regularly enjoy wines that cost more than $20
you may want to spring for the Gabriel-Glas StandArt
which performed beautifully with all the wines we tasted
It’s a beautiful object with a unique silhouette that stands out without being ostentatious
It performed just as well as competitors twice the price and doesn’t feel so delicate that you’ll only opt to use it from time to time
It expresses wine well. Our expert Mary Taylor noted that among the glasses she tried, the StandArt “does the best job for the nose” and that “it shows fruit and hides flaws.” This glass performed well across all of the wine styles we tested, including the aged red, which other glasses struggled with. In comparison, the Libbey Kentfield glass was not as universally flattering
It’s sometimes advised that you should spend the same amount of money on a wine glass that you would for a typical bottle of wine
It's sturdy. The StandArt passed our drop tests without a crack and is dishwasher safe. The glass is made of molded rather than blown nonleaded crystal, so it’s visibly thicker than a mouth-blown Zalto glass and about 1.5 times as heavy
But that extra weight keeps the StandArt from feeling top-heavy when filled with a larger pour and gave our testers more confidence in the durability of the glass
people had a hard time getting comfortable with the ultrathin Zalto
despite being assured of its surprising durability
The StandArt is a bit lighter than the Libbey Kentfield glass
and the rim feels thin and unobtrusive in your mouth
Many of our testers also loved the stylish shape
one that bridges the gap between modern angled sides and the more classic round bowl
While $32 is not inexpensive for any single piece of tableware
the StandArt is relatively affordable for the experience it delivers
Although it was the most compact of the stemless glasses we tested
the angled edges of the Harmony made it easy to swirl and aerate wine
This glass was also the most comfortable to handle among the stemless options we tested
While it’s not great at enhancing the flavor of more delicate wines
the Harmony can also be used for water and cocktails
so the set you acquire for casual wine drinking can pull double duty as a water glass during more formal moments
The angled edges of the Harmony made for a sturdier glass that was almost impossible to knock over during our drop tests (it often popped back upright like a punching clown)
If you choose stemless glasses for parties or large dinners
the Rastal Harmony takes up less space on a table and packs more easily into the dishwasher
Though it's on the thick side, we still enjoyed drinking from it. Aside from the inherent drawbacks of all stemless wine glasses—they show fingerprints, and your hand will warm the wine while drinking—the Rastal glass has a slight lip. However, since we recommend stemless glasses for casual use, we’re willing to forgive this minor issue. Although the rim is slightly thicker than the than the Ravenscroft
most testers found the inexpensive Harmony to be more fun to drink from
It walks the line between a tall flute and the more useful (aromatically speaking) bowl of a traditional wine glass
and has ample capacity to hold a generous pour of bubbly without overflowing
This glass has a tiny imperceptible etching at the bottom of the bowl that allows the gas to escape in a steady flow from a single targeted place
keeping the wine carbonated for as long as possible
Considering the quality craftsmanship and materials
this flute is a bargain at about $25 per glass
the Cuvee Prestige sparkles brilliantly under the light
This is not a comprehensive list of everything we tested in previous iterations of this guide
Our two main issues with the Zalto Universal are its price and its light weight
both of which deterred most people from wanting to use the glass in the first place
the differences between tasting with a Zalto and with the Gabriel-Glas StandArt were not significant enough to recommend spending twice as much
most testers find the stem too thin and the glass too top-heavy when full
causing more stress on the hand and making the glass a bad choice for anyone with grip issues
and wine importer Mary Taylor noticed it worked best with aged red wine
But our testers had the same discomfort gripping such a thin stem that they did using the Zalto
The glass was slightly smaller than most of the others tested
When we tried it with a simple red and white wine
it didn’t impress us enough to recommend it over universal glasses
our experts found the stem on the Ouverture Magnum too short and unpleasant to hold
we were able to dismiss other wine glasses from Stölzle
but we favored the Rastal Harmony for its looks and durability
which was so heavy it outweighed most of the stemware in our lineup
It’s also enormous and too wide for most people to grip or swirl with ease
We wished this glass had a smaller bowl with a slightly narrower opening
but we cannot recommend it due to its increased cost and constant availability problems
it wasn’t able to preserve carbonation as well as our top picks
our testers felt like they were drinking out of a miniature wine glass
We ruled out a number of other champagne flutes from Baccarat

Kentfield played his footy with Subiaco in the Western Australian Football League (WAFL) where he exceled in the highly competitive competition
“Luker is a player that we’ve tracked last year and into this year
Last year we had two early selections and were really committed to Kynan Brown
a father-son,” Jason Taylor told Melbourne Media
“We went into this year keen to follow [Luker] up
which we’ve done so and we feel he plays in the right way
“Kentfield is a key forward who’s playing league footy
He’s not had a lot of continuity but he’s back playing and plays with a real presence

Kentfield will have a familiar face welcoming him to the Club
“I know Koltyn is pretty thrilled to be honest
they’ll live together as well with Geoff Porz so that’s a nice little bonus,” Taylor added
“He’s had that league experience like Koltyn did last year so that will hold him in good.”
