| California Leaf Peeping -
While high profile New England enjoys over 20,000 foliage reports in a
year, California has its fair share of color displays. Though less
reported and publicized, the beautiful leafy canopies of brilliant
displays of yellows, oranges and reds on local trees rival other places.
The shows are prominent in Northern
California Counties and Sierra Nevada mountains and foothills. Milder
colors can be observed in the Monterey / Carmel region, as well.
 While
color-spotters report that vines in Napa are red,
Ophir Wines
viticulturist Paul Burns states that if the leaves are solid red, the
vines are usually in distress. To the left is a leaf from the Ophir
vineyard in Ophir, California. Notice the spotted coloration of
this healthy plant.
