As sunlight spilled into California's famed Napa Valley on a summer day, rows of wine grapes reflected the benefits of this winter's record rainfall.

California growers reported $600 million worth of grapes lost to smoke damage after the 2020 fire season, the office of U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla said. California's wine industry generates $170.5 billion annually, according to the California Association of Winegrape Growers. Wappo Hill, at right, and Mt. St. Helena in the background are seen from a Napa Valley Aloft balloon near Yountville, Calif., Monday, June 19, 2023. "The vines are just really happy and growing," Fernandez said."The nice thing is that they're not completely full, so they are spread out, which is really ideal for ripening the whole berries."
