We've started harvesting grapes. The back row of Frontenac and Foch was a complete critter loss. I still have a little Chambourcin so there is still hope of making some red wine this year, but there won't be much.
Like last year, our approach has been "let them hang." We got the first three grapes to the point where no sugar will be needed. Itasca came out first on 8/9, on the right above. We'll get two gallons, so double last year. La Crescent came out 8/13, left above, closer to 6 gallons. And Frontenac Gris came out 8/21, around 3 gallons. Vidal is buttoned up tight, and we probably won't pick it until we get back from the Chalet after Labor day.
