Aug 2 Veraison update

Veraison is proceeding nicely Marquette is about 80% complete, Frontenac is about 40%, Foch is still less than 5%.   Below are some pictures from walking through the vineyard yesterday.  We have lots of rain the last few weeks.   I saw a bit of downy mildew in some of the dense canopies.   I hit the vines with some organic fixed copper yesterday afternoon.
