Crush - Sunday October 2nd

The rain this Sunday wasn't all that strong, so I decided to let the grapes stay on the vine and with a warm week, I'm hoping to get the brix up to 23 or even 24, but I'm going to harvest no matter what on Sunday (they're at 22.5 right now).

Anyone who wants to come by Sunday morning around 9am can help with the crush (like it will take very long to crush 50+ lbs of grapes).

I think tomorrow I harvest

Just got back from Hawaii and I was afraid that I'd miss the boat on my grapes.  The yield will be terrible this year.  This was a terrible year in general for my little vineyard.  I am still learning how to properly manage my vines, combined with a really cold summer with rain into June, and a bunch of bunches didn't even fertilize.  The upside is that hey, I don't do this for a living, so if I get 20 lbs less than last year, so what, right?  Its a hobby!
