Chenin Blanc Vital Statistics

On Tuesday of this week when we had our Plans Interrupted by the arrival of a voracious flock of turkeys that discovered our sweet grapes, I took the opportunity to pick 2 clusters of Chenin Blanc that we didn't have the time to net so that I could check it's vital statistics. These are like our babies, so they were weighed and measured and checked for Brix level:

Yesterday, when we went to the vineyard to work, it appeared that the grapes were increasing in length as well as swelling. The ^oBrix were now averaging 19!
We also learned that harvest will soon begin for our neighbors to the south on Long Island!
