Harvest is finally finished

This Indian Summer has been great for the grapes. The last grapes to ripen were the lower end of the Gamay Beaujolais.  We picked it today and were pleased with the sugar level of 24 brix as the clusters were really lush and large.

We spent the day crushing and pressing for juice.  We gave some of it to Kayla for her family.  We also stuffed every refrigerator on the place with juice and will spend the weekend processing it.  We drink a lot of grape juice so this should see us through the winter months.
