The birds think they're ready

Did our full sugar & acid measurement of the grapes this morning, and found that the birds are definitely getting in under the nets - many times tearing them open at the base to get in. Probably 10-15% eaten. Yikes! Sure enough, we're getting there but not quite ready to harvest:
* Brix 22.7
* pH 3.5
* TA 9.4
We gave them a good dose (7 hrs) of drip irrigation, knowing that this will probably be the last they get until harvest.
