Should be harvesting in the next week and our grapes will be bought by a local winery. Today, a lady will come from the winery and use a tool to measure the sugar levels using what is called a refractometer.
Out in the vineyard, you would take your meter and from each row of vines you would randomly pick a grape squeeze its juice onto the lens/prism look through an eyepiece at a scale for the sugar ( in wine language brix) reading.
I will ask permission for a few pictures as we walk through the vineyard today with the people who will be purchasing our crop.
Blessings,
Mel

Wow! Fantastic! Congratulations on your grapes! :)
Hi There,
How are you guys? I'm so happy to see you stop by the blog. It has been a really busy summer, the humid and hot weather has kept us on the (well, me) on the lawn mower, or in the vineyard pruning.
We have a winery that is interested in the grapes, however, the birds are becoming an issue, hopefully, they don't do to much damage.
