Something new

St Pepin cluster with split berries.

We had a a fairly heavy rain on Friday (7/26).   The first significant rain in about 2 weeks.   As I was walking through the vineyard I noticed several split berries.   I've never seen split berries at this point in the season.   I assume that it is due to the recent rain, but I am not certain.    It looks like about 10% of the St Pepin berries are affected.   Maybe 5% of the La Crescent and 5% of the Foch.   Most other cultivars don't have any splitting.
