Good Morning everyone. Thinking about picking Marquette soon. Tested some grapes yesterday day and were in the 19% - 22% Brix range. Haven't tested the TA or total acidity yet but will try this weekend. Bird netting was not put up this year due to budget constraints and unfortunately there is heavy bird pressure this year. The decision to harvest early to save as much fruit as possible will made on Sunday. We're very excited about the Marqette this year as I have tasted the juice and it's very sweet and grapes have excellent color. The seeds are brown and taste nutty.
Rain is forcasted for the next week or so. This is not the best news. My fear is a lot of rain will cause berry cracking and lower Brix amounts. So we will cross our fingers and hope for dry weather :)
