Yes. :-)

How are California berries in stores now?  Because
they are So. Cal. grown, since we have no winter to
speak of.  As that LA Times article that I read
indicated, they have harvested over 3 million crates
as of last week.

and more intensely flavored, some are big and juicy. 
I think it depends on what variety the farmer planted,
that indicates how it will taste.  Not the region it
was grown in.

Anyway, it is a joy to eat strawberries, no matter
where they are grown, no matter what season.
