St. Francios Vinyards - Bonne Terre, MO is harvesting the grapes on Labor Day weekend.

Chardonel brix reading was a little low 21.5 - 22.0 and the acid level was still a bit high 1.0. So they are not quite ready but will be come labor day.

Don't have any seyval readings yet - but should have them shortly.
 
They also grow good vines there too. Some of my vines and cuttings were bought from them.
 
No, not really from the immediate area. I'm 40 miles southwest of Chicago.

Yeah - pick your own $.60 per pound.

He will have the crates and harvesting tools for you when picking - you will just need to bring with you containers to take the grapes home in.

There will drinks available - not sure about food.

I am taking Chardonel and Seyval grapes home.
 
FYI

I just talked to St. Francois Vineyards - and they are picking some Chardonel grapes this weekend - they did well this year.

Seyval is still on schedule for labor day weekend.

Nope - but have done a lot of reading up on it - grapeman i think makes it.

i know that you want the acid to be between .75 and .90 and starting SG around 1.095.
