Watered this morning - 4 hrs drip. Mostly because we've been reading more and more about watering grapes to keep them hanging and developing longer without raisining up. Sounds like the berries getting too much water and exploding is not so much of an issue where we live (California + hillside) -it's more a function of not wasting water.

Sugar & Water Update
We used a refractometer to measure Brix this morning, so got to test row-by-row. Results ranged from 17.5 brix towards the top of the vineyard to 21 brix towards the bottom. Seems like the bulk of the grapes are at 19. Didn't bother with TA measurement this time, we'll do that again as we get closer to harvest.
