This blog will be about following our work in our little vineyard for at least this year, 2011, including enjoying the products of the vineyard in the fall, i.e. eating grapes, making juice and wine.

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.
