Greensboro, N.C. — Most of $300,000 worth of wine stolen from a famous California restaurant turned up somewhere near Greensboro, according to a press release from the Napa County Sheriff’s Office.

76 bottles disappeared after a break-in and burglary Christmas Day at the world-renowned The French Laundry in Yountville, Calif.
