We had hail couple of days ago, very depressing when checking the vineyard.

Ouch!

I feel your pain...... We have to suffer/pray through hail possibilities every Summer. In the past it has wiped out complete gardens in 10 minutes and now that I am growing grapes I fear it will wipe out a complete season of grapes in the same amount of time...... :(
 
I feel the pain also farmer. We had hail in three spruts a couple weeks ago and luckily it was only pea to small marble size so only made hole in some leaves. Hopefully your damaged grapes dry up and fall off so they don't destroy the whole clusters.
 
Had a hail storm last summer that completely stripped some of our vines. I feel your pain.
 
Its almost like it's not worth it sometimes.....

Sometimes it snows in the Summer around these parts
