The photo shows the fall colors of dead grape leaves in a vineyard, and among the leaves are some barely visible sparkles of light. It should really be a movie; a still photo doesn’t show the effect very well.Motoring home from Paso Robles on Friday after a family Thanksgiving feast the day before, we passed by a vineyard that had thousands of little shiny plastic foil strips among the vines. I asked Karla if she knew what they were for. “To frighten birds away,” was her response. “Wrong,” I said. “Those twinkling blinking shiny strips are there because they used those grapes to make sparkling wine.”
