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!
