Prosecutors say a federal judge in San Jose has sentenced a man to 15 months in prison following his conviction on a conspiracy charge stemming from the theft of more than $500,000 worth of wine from a famed Napa Valley restaurant.
U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman Abraham Simmons said a judge sentenced Davis Kiryakoz on Tuesday.
Kiryakoz pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to transport stolen goods. Prosecutors say he acknowledged stealing 110 bottles of high-end wine from French Laundry, Chef Thomas Keller's restaurant - in December 2014 and later selling some of it to a buyer in North Carolina.
The stolen wine included a bottle that can cost up to $10,000.
Kiryakoz also acknowledged stealing another $320,000 worth of wine from a steak house and a wine store.
