Moore's Diamond

I picked this one today.  It had suddenly started to have many more bad grapes, and the honey bees and especially bumble bees were all over it.  I still got a surprisingly good harvest from it, getting a solid 8 quarts.  I'll make two gallons of wine and have 3 qts. of juice.  It's amazing how quickly the grapes can change from day to day.  This variety is always a bit earlier than the Niagara, though they are so similar.  I was planning to do the Niagara on Thursday but I might wait.  I'm slowly learning I have to let the grapes let me know when to pick, not the calendar.
