Marquettes any day now. Refractometer shows close to 20 brix and my hydrometer usually reads higher. A week of hot sunny weather ahead. Watching carefully for wasps/birds/ladybugs/earwigs, but so far so good. Oddly except for 1 vine that ripened 2 weeks ago. I picked 6 lbs and put them in the freezer.
Everything is clean. Got my Avante yeast and VP41.
Was a very hot and wet summer but still behind last year.
C'mon baby!!
