The newly emerging wine region is located in a triangle bordered by Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo, and it still retains a distinctive, back road California charm. Today it's home to more than 3,000 acres of vineyards and 30 wine labels, including 17 tasting rooms that run the gamut from a former one- room schoolhouse to the styl- ish Jack Niven Hospitality Center at Edna Valley Vineyard. At the latter, you can sample Chardonnays in front of picture windows with views of the val- ley's most distinctive icon, Islay Peak, an an- cient volcanic plug that rose from the ocean floor. WWW.SLOWINE.COM FALL 2011 So you think there are no seasons in South- ern California? Spend an hour in Big Sycamore Can- yon, and you'll find fall. No surprise, this place has syca- mores and lots of them. In November their leaves should be turning. Running for 8 miles from the coast and climbing more than 500 feet, the trail can make an ambitious holiday trek. Head just a couple of miles in and you'll hear the crunch of fallen leaves beneath your feet. $10 per vehicle; off Pacific Coast Hwy. at Sycamore Canyon Campground in Point Mugu State Park.

Foreclosure activity fell 29 percent in the first six months of this year com-
pared with the first six months of 2010. A total of 1.17 million properties na-
tionwide received foreclosure filings, including default notices, auction sale
notices, or bank repossessions in the first half of this year, down 29 percent
from the first half of 2010 and 25 percent from the second half.
Foreclosure activity fell year-over-year for the ninth straight month in June. For
the second quarter as a whole, filings fell nearly 11 percent compared to the
first quarter and 32 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010, to a
total of 608,235 properties. That's the lowest quarterly total since fourth-
quarter 2007.
The current
slowdown in
foreclosure ac-
tivity is due in
part to the fact
that banks are
much more co-
operative with
short selling
homeowners
properties then
they have been
in the past.
